Anonymous, 12 Jan 2020Wish we had more compact phones 2020I wish we had ANY compact phones in Europe year 2020. Last high-end phone that was even remotely compact was Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact and that thing has huge bezels.
The only phone released in 2019 that was remotely compact was Sharp Aquos R2 compact. That is not sold internationally so unless you live in Japan, that's not an option.
The smallest phone on the market that is widely available is Samsung S10e.

To everyone saying these aren't compact: Sadly, they are. Those are the smallest midrange or flagship phones of 2019. And it looks like it will get worse this year...

Once my Redmi 3S died and I was in market for new phone I was shocked to find out that Redmi 7 (and 8) now are the SAME size as Redmi 7/8 Note, which I always thought were big brothers in lineup. My disappointment. Only reasonable option for budget phone that I managed to find was Xiaomi Mi Play, but still went for Redmi 7 for money reasons, now regret it and are looking for "new" compact phone, but unless you can buy high end, you have no real options in current market.

I agree with most of comments here. A compact phone lower than 140 tall with flagship specs is now a "real dream". Since 2018, I am unable to understand the philosophy of making bezelless phones with 157-164 height. Why don't these phone companies make phones below 140 tall (5 to 5.5 inch screen) with SD 855/865 or similar power.
I m also using a 2 year old compact phone and desparately searching for an upgrade. I will wait for February 2020 and if failed, then will go for Samsung S10e as last option.

Anonymous, 23 Nov 2019S10e great phone Tho they not making a s11e And lowest ... moreYep, a shame, as the form factor is really easy to use, and the flat screen is a plus. Add a few mA of battery and it would be an epic device. I'd have been happy with two e models, kinda wish they would do a plus version. And include the extra camera.

Nouynathan, 10 Dec 2019Xperia 5????Sony have unfortunately stopped their compacts line. The 5 does not count when it's as tall as an iPhone 8 PLUS. Try sitting with the 5 in your front pocket and you'll see what I mean

I want a phone that has all the goodies of a good smartphone (big memory, fast processor and dual-band n/ac WiFi) but that is NOT bigger than S2. And this kind of phone simply doesn't exist!! Why? We consumers want smaller phones!!!

I'm looking for power packed compact phone with full front edge to edge screen of 5" maximum. Could anyone suggest which is available now or even going to be upcoming launching phone. A good display n good battery life and a fast processor is what I'm looking at it.

I want a tiny phone. I don't want to watch video or play games; I just want a telephone. No such thing exists any longer.
