They would rather spend a couple hundred more dollars for the S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max so they can get the most phone for their money.
That being said, people also wouldn't spend less on an iPhone 15 Mini or S24 Mini with a screen size of 5.4-5.7 inches because they would be too small for many tasks, especially browsing the web, watching videos and gaming. Their small size would also mean awfully short battery life and needing to charge more often.

B... moreSadly, we'll likely never see small mid-rangers make a comeback as the majority of people no longer want small phones. Apple dropped the Mini model for their iPhone since the 14, because of how poorly the 12 Mini and 13 Mini sold, and Asus made the Zenfone 11 Ultra a near carbon-copy of the ROG 8 to save manufacturing costs, because the Zenfone 10 didn't sell too well.
The least that Samsung would do for the S24 FE, A56, A36, A26, and A16 is trim down the bezels a bit, maybe also give the lower-end ones like the A26 and A16 hole punch cutouts.

I remember the day,
When one could confidently say:
“My smartphone is sleek, mobile, and light,
Easy to carry, day and night.”
To your pocket it easily slides in and out,
Without weighing down your pants and making you shout.
Easy to hold, whether in two hands or one,
No strain or fatigue, what fun!
Is it a tablet or a phone?
The difference was easily known.
But now the line is blurred,
Most devices are “phablets”, so absurd!
Clunky, heavy, and big,
Feels like you’re carrying a rig.
No longer have you access to a compact device,
Unless you're rich and can afford the expensive price!

Hanif Fikri, 14 Jul 2024Bruh alternatively you can buy s21 or s22 it's cheaper... more...If you get them refurbished from 3rd party sellers. But many people only buy new electronics from 1st party sellers. Can't say I blame them.
The millions of people who want it, should be able to get a compact budget phone directly from Samsung without having to scrounge through the electronics sewer for it.

But if they used a decent chip (like the E1480 in 2024 or the E1580 in 2025, or perhaps the Dimensity 1300) for a S24 sized mid-ranger, it would be quite good, and it would have an affordable price for the many compact phone lovers who can’t afford the S24.

Just ONE phone, 12 Jul 2024Why in the name of Sam Hill can’t Samsung make at least ONE... moreMan, this makes me miss my J5 2017. It was decently affordable, had decent specs, an all-aluminum body, was just the right size at 146mm tall and 71mm wide, and only weighed 160 grams. The 5.2 inch display was perfect for one-handed use, even though it was only in 720p.
I still love my A55, but it's really unwieldy and heavy in comparison. It barely fits in my pants' pockets and feels like holding a brick.
The last time Samsung ever made budget, compact phones was back in 2020 with the A01 and A01 Core. Both of them were pretty terrible honestly.

Finally! To hear someone articulate them!
Samsung makes so many similar phones each year. Can't they make at least one budget option that's compact like the S24??
There are so many people that would buy it!

Just one budget phone a year with the S24's size isn't too much to ask for, as they make so many models each year anyway. The S24 sells very well, and an S24 size budget phone would sell great too, as many smaller phone lovers can't afford the S phone's price, but love its size and non-heaviness.

Why in the name of Sam Hill can’t Samsung make at least ONE mid-range phone that's the same SIZE and WEIGHT as the base S24/S23/S22 for customers who don’t have big hands and pockets? Just ONE!?
Instead, they waste their time making these stupid redundant and almost-identical A55/M55/M55s/F55/C55, A54/M54/F54...
