How a 6" phone could be called "Compact"? Please provide a list which does not reach the 6" / max height is 145mm. I am sorry to see only iPhone 12 / 13 mini is there

newflesh, 05 Jan 2023Lol, new category for 4'' to 5 inches.. there... moreKingKong Mini 3 is a good size mini smartphone I did find if people are interested
This smartphone is powered by mediatek g85 has 6gb ram & 128gb storage it's reasonable choice
Definitely worth having a look at also look below in the comments if small smartphones are ideal for you as this category is difficult for finding the ideal smartphone for people needs and wants as brands really should make mini version of there smartphones but choice not too unfortunately

I agree that phones with screens over 6" are NOT 'compact phones'.. Just because every standard phone is now 6.5" or larger does not mean over 6" is compact. Pockets, purses and peoples' hands haven't gotten 25% larger.

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.
