I don't think losing the 1" sensor is a big deal. 1/1.3" seems good enough.
Disclaimer: I don't have a phone that uses an image senesor that large.
Anyhow, there are some benefits to a small image sensor. With a small sensor, it is easier to keep the entire subject in focus. (Xiaomi 13 Ultra solves this by using a variable aperture. At f4.0, it is easier to keep everything in focus even with a 1" sensor). And the camera island will be relatively less thick.
But the downside is, as someone already mentioned, low-light photography can turn out blurry.
Another thing I want to highlight is the focusing method. Sony image sensors usually use 2x2 phase detection in their image sensors (i could be wrong though). However, the IMX989 (1" sensor) has Octa phase detection - which is better and faster. This is pretty evident in Xiaomi 12S Ultra and 13 Ultra - they can focus easily and reliably even in the dark. I wish Sony used this Octa phase detection in more image sensors because it can give us impressive focusing speed. (I know some phones have Laser AF but c'mon...)

Anonymous, 8 hours agoIt's up to them, I actually support ultra mini phones ... moreAntutu score of 600-800k be more then enough for mini phones for it to last 5 plus years without slowing down. All over that is already very much useless power cause mini phones are not for gaming where it is only place where you need that performance

[deleted post]I also like iPhone n Pixel n Samsung naming scheme. I don't like Xiaomi naming scheme. Xiaomi 14 is 6.3" while pro variant is 6.7". It's like the vanila variant feels inferior.

The X200 is rumoured to have a 6.3" screen.
If the "Mini" uses its body, it's NOT mini at all.
It's as Mini as Jabba the Hut is small and slender.
They might as well not bother releasing it 'cause no one will buy it. Those of us who want a normally sized phone (aka sub-6" screens) aren't going to bother with a "Mini" that's enormous. We already have plenty of 6"+ phones on the market. In fact, we ONLY have 6"+ phones. You're not going to be offering anything different or appealing.

Anonymous, 11 hours agoThey should ask Apple what happened to the iPhone Mini series.What happened?
It sold more units alone than the entire S22 line-up combined.
And more units than any of the Plus models.
And all of that while being cannibalised by the even smaller SE which sold even more units.
That's what happened.

jiyen235, 9 hours agooh yeah my bad, it all makes a bit more sense now but still... moreYeah. I'm probably going to choose between the Oppo Find x8, Xiaomi 15 and Vivo x200 pro mini for my next phone. Looking for a not too large flat screen phone with fairly good cameras. Probably the find x8 as that's likely to be the only one with band 20 support. Not a huge amount of options but at least it's better than the previous generation
