Are you seriously saying that 5"+ phones are COMPACT?

Literally the only compact phone on the market today that's worth even looking at is the iPhone SE with its 4" display. You call anything larger than that "compact" and you're a disgusting liar, or you live in delusions.

    Lol this has to be a joke compact to me is 5 inch and below, who on earth decided to add all those other handsets in which don't even fall into that category

        Prometheous, 17 Dec 2017S8, Seriously GSMA??!! You think S8 and G6 are compacts mea... moreS8 and G6 can't be operated with one hand only (unless you enable their one-handed mode that actually reduces the screen size to below 5" where Compact really means). Dunno what the heck did those two have to make it here; bezel size doesn't count if the whole screen still can't be operated with one hand.

          Oh, and if the P10 with 5.1" screen is classified as "compact" flagship, then where's the superior Xperia XZ1 with 5.2" HDR screen???
          My bad, this poll doesn't make any sense. 'Til then, I'll have to wait until someone else realizes that >5" screens can't be considered "compact," not even when you take in the bezel size.
          Compact=Operatable One-Handedly

          Only the iPhone 8 and Xperia XZ1 Compact are considered to be the main participants of this poll.

            Dream Phone - iPhone SE 2 with IP68+Wireless Charging+5MP front.

              S8, Seriously GSMA??!! You think S8 and G6 are compacts measuring almost 150mm?

                Voted for the Samsung Galaxy S8, but would welcome the S9/S9+ pair having a mini version.

                While one-handed use on the S8 is pretty decent, an S9 mini would really improve the pocketability quotient.

                  XZ1 Compact it is. S8 and G6 only got shredded bezels, but doesn't necessarily mean they're already compact.
                  They have large screens but their main bodies are still as large as, say the Galaxy S7 (non-edge), which isn't considered as "compact" flagship during its time.
                  Compact means it can be used one-handed; couldn't do it for both the S8 and G6 despite my relatively large hands.

                    Only phones with screens below 5" should be considered compact. Hence only iPhone 6, 6s, 7, 8 and SE, and the XZ1 and X Compact should be the choices.
