            The one thing I don't understand is why a compact phone guide doesn't have any specs in each entry in the list, which is the most important thing in the list- to know just how big the phone is

                  newflesh, 30 Aug 2023This didn't age well... I still feel that way, the industry has been pushing the screen size little by little. I still want a phone under 5.7. My hand and pocket has not grown. They think we haven't noticed?!

                    Why no mention of the phones' screen size specs/dimensions for a comparison?

                              Every phone listed here is over 400 euros. Any cheaper compact phones under that price?

                              And how is it that a few years back, you had to pay more for a bigger phone and nowadays you have to pay more for a smaller one? Outrageous!!

                                  Margos Dezerian, 08 Feb 2024Problem with Zenfones is no Micro SD Slot. Problem with Zenfones is their trash software support and they don't have bootloader unlocking anymore. Not to mention that Asus has been patching any and all unofficial ways of bootloader unlocking or software downgrades, which is simply unforgivable. Not worth it anymore, just get a Pixel... unless you need the headphone jack. Hoping it makes a comeback sometime in the future, or the Xperias actually get devs who want to support it. Last LineageOS ROM for anything Sony was for the 5 III.

                                      The only real options are the iPhone SE, 12 Mini, or 13 mini, or clam-shells; the Zenfone is a stretch at 5.92 inches. Nothing for the mid-range market.
