Anonymous, 10 Mar 2022Satisfying every customer is impossible, so unfortunately t... moreSize difference isn't much for 13 mini and just 13. Also 13 mini is too expensive so people will go with SE cause it's less expensive and still a small phone. Also nobody needs flagship phones in mini size. they are used mostly for making calls and texting and you dont need flagship for these things. I dont think i am someone special or anything and i think there are lots of people just like me who use the phone for mostly making calls only. I have close to 4 years old phone and it's 4000mAh battery still last me 3-4 days

Anonymous, 10 Mar 2022s10e: Worst seller of the S10 trio.
Iphone Minis and SE: W... moreBad examples for both. Iphone mini is nice size but it's price makes no sense when the just iphone is not much bigger and dont cost much more. Same with the Samsung S10 it's small but it's too high price for the majority of the market.
Also for iphone mini it's still a flagship specs so nobody needs small phone with flagship specs and premium price. It makes sense that these small phones fail on making big sold numbers if they are top of the line premium flagship phones.
This Ace 3 would be perfect for the market as it seems to be low end. Sadly it will be very low end as it has that large shin and teardrop selfie and also based on the rear side of it with single camera that seems to be also really low end so this phone is probably with Android Go
If they would make this size phone and have something SD6xx, 7xx or Something Dimensity 800 or 900 inside and still be under 200 euro it would sell like hot cakes for a lot of people who want small phones but dont see the point to pay flagship premium price for it.

4500mah in that thing should be a battery monster combined with probably a low-end chipset.

This way they can retire chips with A53.

Apple is gonna bring an iphone 14 max instead of mini this year.
Be sure sales are going to be way better than the 5% mini could reach.
Xperia Compact sold well compared to larger models just the Z series.

Since Sony is focusing on 5G network and the Ace serve as the entry-level model, Snapdragon 480 or Dimensity 700U/720 should be the best bet.

There is certain risk in developing a product and then sell below expectations, specially since phones need to sell in large volumes to keep prices down and be profitable. But I would say there is such a dearth of small phones under 300$ that it is a no brainer for some company to occupy that niche.

Imagine you make two sizes, both equal components except battery. Like iphone 13 and 13 mini. Then after 1 year, proportion of sales are 6:1 in favor of larger model.
No brand is gonna keep the small device if sales are too low compared to larger phone.
People refuse to accept small phones do not sell well. And blame the price to justify poor sales of iphone mini compared to larger iphones. Despite mini has lower price than iphones 7 and 8 had.

Jimbob, 10 Mar 2022Can Sony stop messing around and make a small high end phon... moreXZ outsold X Compact by far.
XZ1/XZ Premium outsold XZ1c by far.
XZ2c was worst seller of all Xperia, since early devices with windows.
Why would Sony bother to make a small version of 5iii?
Now imagine 888 or 8g1 inside a phone small like XZ2 Compact. There is space for proper cooling.

kek, 10 Mar 2022Another little secret: the first Ace had OIS on its main ca... moreAce was $450.
Ace 2 was $210.
Ace was better because back then there was no 10 in Japan. Just later they made Xperia 8, basically a 10 with glass and IP rating.
Now that 10 series is sold in Japan, Ace has stolen the place of L series.
Anyway, OIS is only useful for photos that use shutter between 1/4 - 1/2s.
Not for more than 1s, not videos.
