My wife is in the market for a new phone. Her highest priority is that it’s small. She has it narrowed down to a Galaxy S23 or a Zenphone 10. The Samsung is the safe bet, especially since she’s upgrading from an S10e. And even so, we can just got to T-mobile and play with one. The Zenphone is a bit riskier as it’s unfamiliar. But it’s small and gets great reviews. All of the options under “where to buy” have you buy it through, say, Target or Walmart, but it’s online only. So she wouldn’t be able to play with it until after unboxing and setting it up.

buy it from somewhere that has a 14 or 30 day “no questions asked” return policy. A competent retailer will have that baked into their margins so don’t feel bad doing it. I think that’s your best bet.
That’s a pain in the ass. Especially because they’ll have to mail it, she’ll have to set it up, then if she decides she doesn’t want it, format it and Mail it back and then go buy another one. Isn’t there an easier way to just hold one for a couple of minutes?
I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill here my man. Having no questions asked 14 days to see if you like not only the form factor but also the stock OS sounds pretty good. I think it’d be just as annoying to hold the phone for 5 minutes, buy it, and then find out later you have gripes with the OS that you don’t like.
Even though you think it’s annoying to do, it might be worth the trouble to atleast try the phone you aren’t familiar with.
I can see where you’re coming from but it’s probably less of a hassle than finding and going to an in-person shop.

Excellent info. My wife like to hang on to her phones as long as possible. I think you just made the decision for her

Go on GSM arena and use the phone size comparison tool to get an idea of how it compares to one you already have
