So I'll agree that we can call it a mini but I'll maintain that it's not actually small or compact by any definition, and that this phone somehow being classified as mini is a testament to how ridiculously large phones have gotten. hah

mrleft, 27 Oct 2024Hey, thanks very much for your kind reply. I apologize if I... moreand thank YOU for being so chill! It was nice discussing this with you and i completely get you!! It seems we both had misunderstandings haha!
yeah i completely agree with you, but i think we just have to learn to be happy with the things we get otherwise we're gonna be too sad, i was devastated after the removal of the headphone jack and sd card slots, i kinda missed front buttons too. But i learned to just accept the present.
Companies are starting to get more and more greedy so they remove a lot of stuff, so i commend vivo for at the very least having a smaller option yk? For me this is the perfect size haha
This was a nice chat. Have a nice day!!

I've been insulted countless times on this page for simply wanting a small phone, so I'm always a bit defensive about it. I have nothing against larger phones, personally. I just think everyone should have options, including truly compact and mini phones, instead of things that just use that term for marketing purposes.

I returned an S24 because it was too wide, and haven't even considered an iPhone since the 13 mini for the same reason.

What hate speech have I used?

And your whining has a reason 1. You bought a phone and your upset that you didn't buy vivo x200 pro mini 2. You can't buy it so you better off hate speech about it on the internet. Just look at the poll results of the x200 pro mini so you understand why i said your whining.

Literally what you said, it's tough to use cus of it's size, i don't think i had the wrong idea lol
noooo, most people i know use their phones one handed, including me. It's a pain at times but after 2 months of usage i got used to it and i have set up the one handed mode nicely so if i really want a small phone experience i use that.
Oh and I was just thinking you were one of those annoying people who only complain so i apologize for that, initially i might've been too rude, but in the last few comments i was just curious more than mad, about WHY you think that way, not trying to change your understanding but to understand you. I don't think I belittled your opinions but if i did, im sorry man.

I said it's slightly too large for my liking to use one handed, and that it's wider than the average person's thumb is to use one handed.
As I already explained, I would only call a phone compact if the average person can use it one handed easily, so, yes, the Zenfone is slightly out of that category, but not unwieldly (meaning: difficult to carry or move because of its size, shape, or weight).
Of course the average person is fine with most regular phones. Most people don't specifically want to use a phone one-handed. Most people aren't looking for a compact phone, as we already agreed on.
It's a very interesting thing that people want to argue against and belittle others' subjective opinions or experiences.

I was just surprised to hear your testimony that's all. I've seen genuine small phone enjoyers but they never said the zenfone 10 was unwieldy lmao
and yeah, we need taller phones :(( i love big screens but i HATE wide screens on phones.

But yeah, it would be nice if more phones used a taller aspect ratio for at least some of their models. Apple kind of sabotaged the iPhone 12 mini release, sadly, and I think the 13 mini went better, but the market was already split between the SE and iPhone 12 mini, so not a lot of people went for the 13 mini. The 12 and 13 mini sold better than the 14 or 15 Plus, yet they kept that brand going for a third generation, which is why I'm frustrated. I really do think companies just don't want to make small phones because they're more complicated than just making something big.

I had an Xperia 5 for a while, and it was fine, size wise. This is where different preferences come into play, and companies should want to attract different customers. As it stands, I will not buy a phone larger than 70mm wide, so companies can lose my money for the foreseeable future. I guess when my iPhone mini and Zenfone 10 stop working, I'll have to reassess.

mrleft, 26 Oct 2024Yes, I do want a phone that tiny. That would be great, actu... moreYeah, you and possibly me want one. But The fact that apple and asus won't release phone that small anymore, already told you that very little people want phone that small these days. Even Sony itself won't release phone that as small as XZ2 Compact. Notice that Sony never release phone with "compact" name anymore. Even Xperia 5 is not that small. You might never use one, but I did. it's tall 21:9 aspect ratio was not pleasing for one handed use. Same with Z flip. They are small yet so tall it defeat the "compact" purpose when actually using it.
Because you keep talking "ahaha vivo release "mini" phone, yet not mini". yet since the begining of smartphone era, there's no such a standard size for mini phones, or even big phones. "Mini" name always mean it's smaller than the regular version. Never that it must be that small for say like iPhone Mini or my XZ2 Compact. Like my comment before, 5-5.2" was considered big that company release the small version of it, but now 5"-5.3" or 6.0-6.3" in modern aspect ratio is considered as small. Just buy Unihertz Jelly 2E if you want phone that mini. It's even smaller than all phones people mentioned in this comment section. Seems suits you well who always complaining about phone size.

wow man your hands are pretty dang small but i won't judge, i understand how bad it is to have small things compared to others so i can just empathize with you.
To say that the Zenfone 10 is unwieldy is one of the most absurd things i've heard in a long time.
I think your main issue is the same as mine, phones are getting wider. Imagine if the X200 Pro Mini was taller and narrower, like 70 mm-ish. I think it's all due to the flat screen, flatter screens, unless 21:9, are wider than curved screens.
And i think small phone enjoyers are few and far between, just like headphone jack and sd card users. Most people complaining about these features don't buy the phones with em, so those phones don't sell and manufacturers stop making them. If enough people bought the Minis and the Zenfone 10, we wouldn't have had this problem. Companies aren't allergic to money, if they see something doing well they'll jump on it, look at AI for example.
