[deleted post]Sorry, what i meant to say is: How can you say that those phones are compact phones? The only compact phones on that list are the Iphone and the Xperia Compact. The rest are large phones. Not phablets, but stil large phones.

      Kalev, 24 Dec 2017"Compact".. What the heck..? Anything above 4.5"-4.7" is HU... moreYou are right. But this makes Sony XZ1 Compact the ONLY high end flagship. Gsma is very known for their biased view towards Sony. Basically if Sony earned some merit, gsma will do everything in their power to discredit them.
      COMPACT = 4"-4.9"
      Anything above is either regular, either phablet.
      PUT YOUR GLASSES ON GSMA!

Only because you are a fanboy and your favorite device couldn't reach more than 7% it doesn't mean other people are like you too.

              Galaxy S8 for love, o own a Pixel 2 XL but before my Pixel I had a S8 and I can just say S8 is the King. A bit heavy and slow because if TouchWiz but seriously S8 is a beast.

                  S8 is not a compact phone as many people have mentioned but even it it would have say "Note 8" Samsung would still have won.

                    Overall Sony Wins Because Its true Compact phone and most powerful

                        But, Yep there should be some critery of what is considered what.
                        But is I have to chose what compact car is better. Three wheel 10 horsepower mini car or 8 tons weight Hummer... the Hummer win if They actually belong to the same small car gategory.

                          If people didn't think S8 wasn't compact then it wouldn't have made the top spot.
                          Whether it is actually compact or not is irrelevant. Though I would've liked for XZ1 compact to win. But Americans probably have something against Sony (may be somewhat justified), MKBHD also completely ignored Sony completely.

                              I am satisfied for my S8. I hope S9 have dual camera.

                                  Gsmarena doesn't category the Sharp Aquo S2 into compact smartphone....

                                    Let's compare their dimensions then:
                                    S8 - 5.86 x 2.68 x 0.31 inches
                                    Pixel 2 - 5.74 x 2.74 x 0.31 inches
                                    XZ1 Compact - 5.08 x 2.56 x 0.37 inches
                                    LG G6 - 5.86 x 2.83 x 0.31 inches
                                    iPhone 8 - 5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 inches
                                    Xiaomi Mi6 - 5.72 x 2.78 x 0.29 inches
                                    Huawei P10 - 5.72 x 2.73 x 0.27 inches

                                    As clearly we can see it is the XZ1 Compact and the iPhone 8 are considered compact based on their dimensions. And it is also clear that the S8, P10, G6 and Mi6 are hardly compact.

                                        XZ1 Compact and the iPhone 8 are the only REAL COMPACT! Smartphones!
