What is your current phone?
In todays world the Pixel 8 is a small phone. It has nearly the same size as the IPhone 15Pro which is also a small phone.
Is there any flagship phone with smaller dimendions?
There's not any current flagship phone with (significantly) smaller dimensions, which is my main complaint.
My phone is an S22, for the singular reason that it was literally the smallest (Android) flagship phone available at the time. But it's still too big.
However my actual phone is irrelevant, even if it would be a ZFold the point is that i will not change from it until I see a proper small option.
For me "small" would be 4-5.5", and i don't consider the iPhone 15 Pro (or Pixel 8) to be small. I consider that to be a "standard" size these days (6"), where everything larger is "large" and anything in the missing segment of smaller would be "small".
One problem would be, if they go smaller it gets more expensive and then there is less space for camera/battery and so on. So you pay more for less power.
Maybe Google finds its way like Apple and will get a wider range of phones.
Sure, but those are tradeoffs that are necessitated by the size, so it just comes down to a consumer deciding if they value more the larger battery, or smaller size. Personally i put a lot of value in the smaller size, so would be very accepting of reasonable tradeoffs to achieve it.
I also hope Google (or any major manufacturer) finds its way to include a smaller option in future lineups. :)
