    Not many mini smartphone left

    I can't believe it but I think apple might have the best mini smartphone in 2022
    if ios is a option for you that is and don't need Android

    iPhone se 2022 the only flagship opinion

    All other opinions are budget or mid range
    The Sony Xperia xz2 compact

    It's really hard to find mini Android smartphone with supported version of Android in 2022

    The unihertz jelly 2 is the only new mini smartphone I can find bit but it is too small
    It runs Android 11 and has good specs

    Lack of good choice for who that don't want a smartphone like the size of a small tablet

          Since the galaxy a41, every phone in this category is really expensive.

            Is there seriously no 5g compact phone thats android and has a card slot? The pixel 5 is fine but its still fairly big for someone like me who is a smaller guy with smaller hands.

              What about the S22 must be the best Compact phone in 2022....

                Sony Xperia XZ2 is a good
                mid/small size smartphone

                5 inch smartphone

                Android 10
                Snapdragon 845 4gb ram

                Hopefully I helped some people out

                  I love this site and visit it very often, but it's been a half year since the last update here! Knowing that I am searching for a new small compact phone... Hasn't there been any news in this area? Hope to see new info soon! Thanx and keep up the great work! Cheers from the Netherlands.

                    S21 and Xperia are definitely not compact!

                        I think it says a lot that this list was updated half a year ago…

                          I think that this guide should be updated with the newest phones from 2022.

                            Do you think someone looking for a small phone may be interested in actual measurements?

Everything now is 10+ inch. You could still buy fairly good 8 inch android tablet in 2019, but not anymore.
