I like my 6.2 inch screen phone but I find it heavy. I used my wifes 5.6 inch phone and it felt so light and enjoyable to use. Now I see flagships are becoming even heavier crossing 200g!
My dad wants a small phone too but sadly there just doesn't seem to be any options in the market unless you go down the Apple route with the SE phone.

Great phone. Great review. But the review says
" if the size bothers you - then you are looking at the wrong phone"
Is there a right phone, then? Because the smallest phones these days measure a 6.4-inch screen. And those aren't way too easier to handle than this 6.6 inch phone.
I am holding out on my 3-year-old 5-incher phone because I want something in that size or even less. So well, the size does bother me. But apart from the Galaxy S10e and the iPhone SE every phone has a bothersome size. Why is this phone any different? Also, how does dark mode and a black screen help with battery life on an LCD screen?
Apart from these two anomalies, great review. If my compact phone flatlines, this may probably be my next phone. Well, the size does bother me, but there's nothing much that's any smaller. I like the battery-life, side-mounted FPS. But not a fan of curved corners in screen, notches/holes on the screen and massive, shovel-sized and shovel-weighing phones.
I guess I am a minority who wants a pocketable, light, one-handed phone.

AnonD-930379, 29 Apr 2020That's not the same. 3.5mm jack output quality is important... moreThey think if the speaker output is good, the audio output can't be bad. If the speaker sounds very good, the manufacturer must have using quality audio components.

Anonymous, 28 Apr 2020I think many dislikes Redmi displays. People who bought thi... moreare u already use Realme 6 ?
i want to buy R6 or RN9Pro, and i confused
R6 have smth better than RN9Pro, but smth that bothering me is :
1. only have 1 mic at the bottom
2. G90T is beast, but it does get warmer, and its still 12nm, also its harder to find gcam for Mediatek device (coz i use gcam for low light photograpgy)
3. only have Widevine L3 (means no HD content)
4. i more like image processing on Xiaomi phone (looks more natural for me)
other than that, R6 is a really good midrange phone

zillion, 29 Apr 2020The gsmarena team already testing the speaker test.That's not the same. 3.5mm jack output quality is important too and deserves it's own test like it used to. It's a shame they stopped doing that

Things you should know before buying this phone:
1. Audio quality through earphones is not good if you are an audiophile.
2. Camera quality is average. Both front and back.
3. System wide sound is not equal, means you have good volume in music player but in any other app or game you need to crank up the volume.
Thank me for saving your money.

Pabliell, 27 Apr 2020@GSMArena Please keep posting body size in the spec sheet ... moreAgreed. Body size is the only major deal-breaker for me. Being exited about a new phone only to later find out it's a gigantic phablet is very disappointing. Give me body size upfront so I can just ignore anything bigger than 15 cm.

Want to see how it holds up against Redmi Note 8 Pro in every aspect head to head, mostly CPU power and camera quality. I have the Redmi Note 8 Pro and this one doesn't look like worthy successor to grab. Maybe there will be some better version of it.
