Phone shopping

For various reasons, I think it is time I fully join the smartphone world. I'd been hoping to wait until the Samsung foldables became more affordable, but now's the time and even older refurbished ones are currently going for around $500. (I've seen positive reviews of a couple of much cheaper options, but neither is being sold in the US.)

So, anyone want to recommend me a phone that runs Android, isn't too huge, is eSim-capable, still works as an actual voice phone, and... well, whatever other features you think are important?

5/14/2023 Question of the day

World Migratory Bird Day: World Migratory Bird Day is observed twice a year during the second Saturday in May and again on the second Saturday in October. The goal is to raise awareness of issues affecting migratory birds and to inspire action around the world to take measures for their conservation. Do you live in a region that sees bird migrations in the spring and fall? Light pollution is a major threat to migratory birds. Does your municipality have any "Dim the Lights" policies in place to protect migratory birds?

The most noticeable migrations around here are the Canada geese, especially on fall mornings when they form up to head south in great big skeins, honking the whole way.

There aren't any light-dimming ordinances around here as far as I know.
