Since when did a 6" screen phone become a compact? Are they drunk or something?!

Anything over 5.6" bezelless (or 5.8" if really narrow bezels) is no longer considered compact.

                    I'm using the mi 9se for 4 months now. Superb phone for its price. And most importantly. It's compact form factor.

                      Very satisfied with the new format! Great job!

                      I was really looking for a new phone and this is exactly what I need.

                      Thanks gsmarena!

                            Whackcar, 22 Nov 2019You wrote Mi Note 10 as the No.1 Camera Phone? That's just ... moreThey enlisted mi note 10 because what you are paying to buy that phone is mostly for those cameras not other stuffs. You can buy 2 mi note 10s with the same price of iPhone 11pro. So, if note mi note 10 even come close(actually it has better main camera than iPhone/Huawei) It deserves to be enlisted.
                            That's MHO.

                                      1. Expandable storage dedicated
                                      2. Headphone Jack

                                      5. Dual Sim
                                      6. Less than 145mm tall, preferably less than 140mm
                                      7.
                                      My biggest gripe atm is the size of phones and price, I refuse to buy big phones and doublely if theirs no headphone jack and expandable memory.
                                      And the price they are asking is stupid.
                                      I'm exercising my consumer right spending my money else where.
