Still looking for a replacement for my S10e with its 1Tb SD card.. on its second battery and second screen. Samsung has abandoned us. Maybe Xperia 5 V will finally be adequate..

With the S23 out, this will be an easy replacement for the S22. A power efficient SOC with increased battery capacity means a compact smartphone that can last the whole day.

Anonymous, 19 Sep 2022S10e should still be on this listS10e still has the best size and features - just needs 5G. I'd immediately buy an s22e in that form factor with an updated processor. And I will never buy a phone w/o wireless charging again - damn ports go bad all the time.

I think Sony makes the best performance small phones for android sadly no modern android mini phones with good performance
We need a new category called mini smartphones
Listing phones at size 4 inch too 5 inch
The compact phone category is basically all mid size phones if not close to tablet size

Anon, 16 Aug 2022Still too big. The XZ1C is as big as I'll go and it�... moreThe soyes k touch i11s mini smartphone
It's a generic smartphone it's 4.8 inch and a thin phone
With android 9 and mediatek processor
With ram and storage opinions up to 4gb ram & 64 GB storage possibly higher spec versions exist
Should be small enough
It's a budget phone but should be reasonable in terms of performance
There's other generic phones that are being made at small size but with questionable specs and claims
It's hard too find brand name phones that are small still being made
So possibly are best choice is buying generic phones and using cpuz too make sure we get what we pay for
And just make sure the phone supports 4g and network Carrer
It's not allowed on any trustworthy site for sellers too fake specs so if you're lied too you should be able get refunded

For me the width is important too. I'm currently using my LG G5 for my morning alarm and I just love the proportions, both practically and aesthetically.
