Big pockets.
I always keep my phone in my front pocket and have never had a problem biking. Are you actively buying pants with tiny pockets? I only buy second hand clothes and have a few "female pants" with pockets that don't fully fit huge phones and even with them it's not a problem.
Could be a woman. I just assume their sports gear suffers the same problem as most of their normal clothes: small, fake, or non-existant pockets.
Get a flip phone.
The galaxy Z flip, fold, pixel fold, razr plus, find flip, or magic v?
They were probably referring to a flip smartphone, which can indeed run Signal and Threema.
Maybe it's improving. There are a few less famous brands making some small android phones. In a recent thread, someone mentioned unihertz, and I added cubot.
Zenfone is pretty small and had tons of features
Because it's true...
It's a touch smaller than the Galaxy S5, and significantly narrower, which is more important for typing one handed.
Being smaller than a typical 10 year old smartphone is pretty damn compact for a modern smartphone.
If you're expecting to go back to the days of the iPhone 3GS or something, then you're in a minority of a minority
People keep saying those phones aren't small without saying what size or current phone is small enough. The fact the base galaxy phone has shrunk from 6.2-6.3 inches is impressive enough IMO.
A top tube bag is quite useful for that, i got one quite cheap on aliexpress when my phone started to get annoying to carry on a bike.
Saddle bag

The irony that thies link leads to a not availiable item... I guess you where suggesting the Jelly Star?
There are more small phones than big phones. I want an iPad mini-sized phone and there's virtually 0 options.
Name one modern phone >= the size of the legendary Sony Z Ultra.
I can't help with this.
Can't you carry their phone?
Car and backpack right? :p
