joe nodden, 18 Oct 2020There's many more important factors that go into buyin... moreI don't really think so, because a lot of cheap phones sold last year are mostly 6 inches plus in size (brands from xiaomi, realmi, oppo etc). Another factor that need to be considered is the battery size. people looking for large phones are usually equipped with large batteries that can last the whole day or two but smaller phones might not last a single day.
That is probably the reason why samsung ditched the s10e in favour of larger s20 series this year.
I'm not sure about iPhone 12 mini though, since it is smaller than the SE 2020 but with larger display and those magsafe built in, i think battery might be smaller. Then again it is apple, it might sell like hot cakes just like the iPhone 11 and 8.
But let's say this 12 mini did sold well, android manufacturers might follow suit in making smaller and lighter sized phones which might be great since not everyone has big hands. Probably next year might have a lot of size options for android phone.
Then again they might also remove the charger just like they did with the headphone jack. lol

small size with 135g weight.. what a dream compact phone.
i remember using samsung A5 which is 5" and 130g, it feels fantastic.
nowadays sony makes the so-called compact xperia 5, which looks like a bluray remote.

Laughable. This is going to play out very similar to the SE 2020, in fact this 12 mini has more going for it than the SE had before it went on to be a best seller.

joe nodden, 18 Oct 2020There's many more important factors that go into buyin... moreThe latest gsmarena poll shows that the 12 mini is the most popular iPhone option at the moment (https://www.gsmarena.com/weekly_poll_which_of_the_for_iphone_12_models_will_have_you_opening_your_wallet-news-45815.php). Additionally, the 12 mini had higher daily interest on this site than any other iphone for a decent chunk of time, only recently being beaten by the 12 pro max in terms of daily interest but still higher than the 12 and 12 pro.
People are clearly interested in a decent small phone like this one, this is despite it costing significantly more than the similarly physical size iPhone SE 2020 or iPhone 8 which have smaller screens. People want a phone they can easily use one-handed without old looking space-inefficient large top-and-bottom bezels (iPhone SE 2020) or low-end internals (most small Android phones), if the interest was mostly down to price like you are considering, then people would be buying the SE 2020 instead due to being similar in physical size but much cheaper.
In terms of physical size, I think most people out there are buying these increasingly large phone options because there simply isn't a smaller flagship alternative, with those who genuinely want the bigger screen getting the "XL"/"Plus"/"Max" model instead.

IKA, 18 Oct 2020I think the market share of people wanting smaller phones i... moreThere's many more important factors that go into buying a phone than size. Saying "44% of 2019 shipments were for 5.5 to 6 inch phones" is just not at all looking at the whole picture. Hardly any phones made that year were equipped with sub 6 inch displays. Only 111 show up as being 5.9 inches or below on gsmarena's phone finder. And of those, only 3 are flagships. And of those, only 2 sold decently. (Idk what the 11 Pro's sales are like but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say it sold well)
Meaning, the main source of small phones being bought that year would've had to of been made up people not wealthy enough to even afford larger phones, so they went with older smaller phones. It's just like with the SE 2020 sales. They either bought the older smaller phones because they were cheaper, or because they were small. I'm going with the former for the majority of them.

joe nodden, 18 Oct 2020Hahahahaha I find it funny you mention Sony. Whose smartpho... moreI think the market share of people wanting smaller phones is much larger than .5%. I have normal size hands but I don't like to carry a massive phone around, my current phone is 6.1'' and that is pretty much the largest screen I'm willing to buy, so I'm actually pretty happy that phone manufacturers still make decent size phones and haven't gone to producing phablets exclusively.
I don't know how it's going to sell but I home moni does well. Just for insight - in 2019 from all mobile shipments - 44% were with screen size 5.5 - 6'', 20% - 5 - 5.5'' so I don't think that small phones don't sell.

It's a miracle they haven't shut it down yet, yet you want to use them as an example as to why smaller phones sell well. How sad.
And gsmarena didn't want to approve my other reply mentioning it, but you want to bring up the SE 2020 a second time now. After my original reply disproved your argument involving it before you even made the argument.
"And I know you're going to try to use the SE against me, when that costed a third what this costs, which is why it sold."
Jeez just admit you're wrong already and stop embarrassing yourself.
