      6.3 is still a brick size phone. 6.1 or below is what you call compact (small) phone. Nope for me.

        Only compact modern phones were iphone mini and Asus Zenfone line. Phone with 6.3 inch can't be called compact by any means.

          Darth Caesium, 10 hours agoJust make a smaller OnePlus 13 smh. This phone's posit... moreThey made it like this for a reason. A smaller Oneplus 13 would be better than the find x8s and would take sales away from the find x8s. They basically wanted a cheaper small phone as they already have the find x8s in the more expensive category with better cameras and wireless charging. This offers a significantly cheaper alternative in China which is its main market

            They have shit themselves in the foot by removing ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and USB 3.0. I don't care about ultrawide, but many do. I wouldn't be surprised if people may favour xiaomi 15 over this despite it having kinda 'smaller' battery. And if OnePlus comes to the conclusion that people don't want compact phones because of that, then they are just naive.

                  I almost never consider all the good things the people on this topic mentioned, when I'm out to buy a phone. I often buy to fun, not always premium class, I like interesting colors, or a striking design, various manufacturers. The emotional factor is very important. Vivo x200whatever, as an example, with a plug in place of a lens camera in premium class, have for me the emotional factor of zero.
                  There are a multitude of use cases, and while comparative tests have sense, even this kind of discussion have sense, at the end of the day, a particular person can find joy using a less optimal phone, for personal reasons.

                    Eyaddy, 10 hours agoResale value? You may care about it but I don't since ... moreIgnoring resale or trade-in value on a €600+ phone is a bad investment, but hey, it's your money.
                    As for bands, according to GSMArena, here are all the 4G bands the X200 Pro Mini misses from the global Pixel 9 Pro:
                    12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, 25, 29, 30, 42, 48, 71, 75
                    And 5G misses one:
                    2, 7, 12, 14, 20, 25, 26, 30, 66, 71, 75, 76, 79, Sub6
                    And there is another variant with different bands and mmWave for different market, I guess for the US.
                    Google offer longer OS support (and ability to install GrapheneOS).
                    And with imports, you have no official support or warranty here, pray it doesn't arrive dead.

                    I'm not "glazing" over the Pixel (I disliked the 8 series), but factually, the Pixel 9 Pro is a better, properly supported global alternative to that specific Vivo import, unless, of course, Google also isn't selling their phones in your country.

                    Anyway, a deliberately cut-down imported phone, lacking more than half its bands, having no value and zero official support, should be cheaper. That's the price of compromise.

                      The 13R is currently on sale, so I would buy that one instead

                        Currently, the options are all above 6 inches size, which of course isn't compact, maybe small but not compact in exact way. They need to bring back phones under 6, with a single camera. IDC. Just give me a small phone ffs. These large brick phones are infuriatingly large and a menace to hold and manage with one hand, and they don't even fit well in pocket, especially if I'm wearing a skinny jeans, it's such an inconvenience then. There used to be android phones as small as 3.5 inches back in the day, but they don't want to go back to even 5.5 these days

                          DarlingYext, 13 hours agoGood device, but it's not worth importing with the amo... moreOf course it is better than the Oneplus 13t but it is in a different price category. 3,399rmb versus 4,499rmb. Well over 30% more expensive. If you don't need wireless charging and top level cameras then the Oneplus 13t makes more sense as you save a lot of cash and get far better battery life (miles ahead of the x200 pro mini in the Chinese battery tests) and also has better performance and is far more comfortable to hold as the camera bump completely gets in the way with the x200 pro mini. If you need wireless charging and the cameras then of course pay the extra for the Vivo if you have it

                            It's not built with good performance or thermals in mind either. The thermometer on the back of a Pixel would only be truly useful if it could check the temperature of the phone itself.

                            Sure, the base Pixel has 16GB of RAM, but also 128GB of midrange UFS 3.1 storage, and actually every storage option of the Pixel is limited to the slower UFS 3.1. The vivo starts with 256GB, and the 512GB variant already has 16GB of RAM, but every option has UFS 4.0.

                            The vivo also has a way larger battery than the Pixel with much faster wired and wireless charging and it comes with both the fast charging brick and a case to protect the device.

                              GsmArena Editors and their "eternal" hate for "small" & "compact" phones.

                              Please, let people live, as they wish, will you?

                              Also if they are not launching in EU & US, isn't that clear that people there don't prefer small phones owing to large hands? Elsewhere, they did that survey which is why then they decided to launch the small phone. Why is GSMARENA so in denial that there are sizable chunk of population that want small phones? Why this "one size fits all"? Why do you think markets have t-shirts in S, M, L , XL when they can rather make one size XL and make everyone wear that? Seriously how difficult is this to understand being the chief editors of the largest running smartphone focussed tech reporting website?

                              If people want small, any improvement in this direction is so much welcome. For people desperately waiting years using 6.4" slabs, anything is better, even 6.3", even 6.2" and even 6.0".

                                Unihertz Jelly star 3 inch screen, Oukitel K16 3,5 inch screen or Zanco T1 tiny the most smallest phone ever build and for sale those are small phones around 3 inches in case of zanco less than 1 inch not this.

                                    For someone like me is too tiny.
                                    With my thick fingers typing on such small screen is difficult.
                                    Reading from small screen without enlarging letter is also difficult.
                                    And tiny phones usually comes with tiny specs and batteries. Too much things cramped in tiny body good for easy breaking your phone cuz there is no space.
                                    Well just said my reasons.

                                    Like i said for those who look for a small phones is okay. For me regular one plus 13, Xiaomi 15 or other proper 6,7 and biger inch fagship is a good phone.
                                    Not looking for midranger with flagship chipset.
