When you have a phone 60mm wide or less, then you can call it compact.

Are you telling me that you can have any of these phones in any of your pockets and bend down to tie your shoes? I'd like to see that.

none of these phones are compact. compact is 5" or smaller. sadly there don't seem to be any real android compact phone offerings besides the sony xperia compact, which hasn't seen updates in a few years.

I really like my Nokia 4.2 as a compact phone,
it's a nice size, it came with 3 years warranty and the promise of updates. The battery life is good and it's not the end of the world if I drop and break it, I can also pronounce the phone makers name which is a bonus.
However a couple of caveats, the phone is not my main media viewer, I use a tablet for that and I don't access the internet or listen to music on the go. If I used it for that then it would struggle but then of course I would have chosen something else instead.

I need replacement but no compact phones on market right now with good battery, as it was in R4. Very dissapointed. I found long time not used Redmi 3S in drawer so I'm using this one till I will find replacement for Redmi 4 Pro. Any ideas? Samsung s10e too expensive. Mi 9 se no 3.5mm jack. Pity

Sorry but none of these can be called compact, it's a "smallest available yet still big" list at best. The iPhone SE is small; actually it's on the boundaries between small and big, with the iPhone 4S being closer to what a small smartphone should be. Everything on this list is much bigger than the SE.
The only small/compact smartphones you can currently purchase are the 2016's iPhone SE, which is still available as new in many stores, or the 2018's Palm Phone, a really tiny Android that apparently has very limited sales. I can see why most people prefer bigger phones but it's extremely odd that not even a single big company will produce a small one, when there's clearly a demand for it. I hope this trend ends soon.

I have small hands. I cannot hold modern phones at all, and this is becoming frustrating.
IMHO compact is not about length, but width. About 65mm in the past. Now it's 70mm.
All I care is about price, battery and dimensions. I had a S4 mini and it was truly pocket, amazing lightweight. I still use a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime because it was the best at the time, now it's still fast (snap 660 +3gb ram). Unfortunately the camera is mediocre. I wish to buy something new just for pics and videos, but every phone on this short list is expensive with short battery life, compared to 4000mha. To have something nice, I will probably have to buy something like a Mi 9 Lite and just forgive myself.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT BIGGER DISPLAYS AT ALL!!! I can live with 5". I have a tablet for other uses like everybody!
