Just telling you incase you looking for compact flagship mini phone. Apple and Google too makes mini flagship but rumor from both side this year said they not doing small phone anymore. It just hard to find compact phone nowadays. Most oems moving away from mini and rename it as lite version instead because the bigger screen cant be call mini anymore.

Flagship or wannabe, for me, camera quality will be the decider.

I can safely say my hands won't get any bigger.(just for the comparasion, When putting gloves, my size is Medium) There are girls that have MUCH MUCH smaller hands than me and grab phablets of Note 8, iPhone 8+, snd so on. So it's not the issue of hand size or whatsoever.
I do agree about the first part. Larger devices have better preformance. But as for phones. Flagship chips are the smallest among chip, even midrange, so that breaks a bit the myth... It's absolutely plausible to make a phone that is 4.7inches and have a flagship specs (because these come on that tiny square thing called SoC) but in the same time limits space for battery, components and so on. Why Sony is the only sane company that makes excellent petite sized company?
That's what annoys me.

Desktop computers have better performance than gaming laptops, while these have better performance than normal laptops, while these have better performance than ultra portable laptops, while these have better performance than netbooks, and so on.
If you want the current state of top notch performance, but in a smaller device, wait a couple of years until technology evolves and allows for that. But then again, the performance of the bigger devices two years from now will still be better than what a small device will output.
It's either this, or you need to get some bigger hands.

I'm a compact user and I am starting to feel I am forced to go bigger. I'm also a flagship lover so if I want to have flagship specs I am forced to carry a mammoth sized phone.

Guys, am I the only to notice that the photos from the sample section are catastrophic?
Otherwise it's a beautiful device (when the screen is off)... but when the screen comes on the icons in the upper corners are really ugly placed and are almost hitting the rounded corners, that needs to be adjusted really. Also, the clock on the lockscreen is sooo 2008...

Anonymous, 15 Jun 2018And you don't then? Not really. I have used and still use more than one phone. I currently even have a Lumia 950XL that I still use every other week. And three Android phones (Pixel XL 2, the S9, and a Huawei P20 lite ), and an iPhone 7 and the iPhone X. I can never settle, I guess. Even so, I have no preference on either of these phones or operating systems whatsoever. And it's hard not to notice how everyone is getting "inspired" (to say the least) by Apple's designs and concepts. Well, except for Windows phones.

Anonymous, 15 Jun 2018You just have a biased opinion towards phones and phone man... moreOuch! The truth hurts, doesn't it? :) That's the truth about many iphone owners who, are really trying hard to afford an overpriced phone for the prestige and image of owning one, never mind if they have to default on other monthly obligations/monthly payments. In fairness though, there are truly rich iphone owners, (not just those Hollywood stars and music artists) but they frequently don't bother posting in these Vivo forums unless they are secretly envious a Chinese brand has outclassed their iPhone X by coming up with a beautiful, gorgeous, futuristic looking, truly notch less, bezel-less screen, an underscreen fingerprint scanner, and a huge 4000mAh battery to boot, for so much less than their highway robbery priced iphone.

Anonymous, 14 Jun 2018Just another iPhone X copy made "affordable" for the masses... moreThere's nothing 'attractive' about the crippled iphone user experience. No dual SIM, no sd card expansion, no FM radio, no IR blaster, intentional slow down through software updates when the iphone is old, crippled user interface riddled with cluttered icons you can't hide in a drawer, a ridiculously overpriced phone that can't even screen share on smart tv's via wifi direct without buying an outrageously priced accessory (Apple tv), a stupidly expensive phone that doesn't even have a basic dark theme, doesn't allow seemless file transfers from PC to phone and vice-versa via usb or bluetooth and a sluggish phone interface that hides stutters and lag by disabling any attempt to adjust the sluggish animation speeds. The only thing good about the iphone user experience is the bragging rights for owning a $1000 phone, never mind if the phone battery is already worn out requiring multiple times charging in a day, long before the user is able to fully pay for the 2 year monthly amortization and after sending a promissory note to the apartment collector for not being able to pay the monthly rent on time.
