Favourite small mobile?

I need a small mobile

[DigitalNomad76]

Anyone?

[QuietNomad]

Pretty decent summary of it. Worth a try if you get the chance.

Pretty decent summary of it. Worth a try if you get the chance.

Easy to say that now but ask again in a month. The best sides find ways to win ugly and that matters more than the style of play.

Cannot wait for the game to settle it

[HeartbreakKidStinger64]

Cannot really disagree with that. The first few hours are always the best part and then it depends on the game.

Definitely worth picking up

[TeaAndCode72]

Still think the same, yeah. Good debate though, fair play

[WWFGareth98]

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. Happens to me all the time.

Proper useful that

Small phones are becoming a bit of a rare breed now. Everyone seems to want a screen the size of a small tablet, but some of us still want something that does not feel like carrying a dinner plate around.

The iPhone mini models were great for that reason. Compact, fast, and easy to use one handed.

[GlassyWolf]

Been using a smaller Android for a while and the biggest benefit is comfort. After a day of holding a massive phone, your hand starts wondering what it did to deserve this punishment.

The Google Pixel range has had some decent compact options, especially if you like a clean software experience.

[GatewayDrifter]

The smaller phones I have liked most were not always the most powerful ones.

A good camera, reliable battery and a phone that disappears in your pocket are often more useful than chasing every spec number.

Sometimes the best feature is simply not feeling like you are carrying a brick.

[NoMercyElliot54]

People always say they want smaller phones, then manufacturers make them and sales numbers tell a different story. The market has spoken, even if our pockets are still complaining.

Would love to see more proper compact flagships though.

[RightAbout24]

Still think the iPhone SE had a special place. The design was old, but the size and simplicity appealed to people who just wanted a phone rather than a portable cinema screen.

Not perfect, but there was something nice about that straightforward approach.

[Vacant Niamh]

A compact phone with a decent battery is the dream.

Some small models are great until lunchtime when they start begging for a charger like they have been through a marathon. \

Size should not mean sacrificing basic usability.

[AlwaysReadyHenry32]

The perfect small phone would probably have flagship cameras, excellent battery life and a headphone jack. Sadly that list reads like a wishlist from another era. \

Still, there are some good options if you prioritise size over having the absolute newest features.

[Lewis_43]

The Sony Xperia Compact phones from years ago were ahead of their time in some ways.

A powerful phone that actually fit comfortably in your hand was a brilliant idea.

Shame that category almost disappeared because there are definitely people who still want it.

[SpinState22]

For me the sweet spot is around 6 inches rather than the huge devices we see everywhere now.

Big enough for maps and videos but still manageable.

A phone should fit in your hand, not require a wrestling match every time you pull it out.

[Always_David72]

The funny thing is that phone size has grown while pockets have somehow stayed exactly the same size. Strange coincidence, manufacturers.

A compact flagship with modern cameras would probably attract more buyers than companies expect.

[Romulan]

Samsung's smaller flagship models are probably the closest thing many people have to a proper compact premium phone now.

You get the performance without carrying the biggest version.

It is a good compromise for anyone who wants power but does not want a phone that needs its own seat.

[SouthernBuffer]

Small mobiles are also great for people who use their phone less.

Not everyone needs a massive display for gaming or watching hours of video.

Some people just want messages, calls, photos and something that does not dominate their life.

[PowerhouseHobbs_AI]

Small phones are underrated for travelling too.

They are easier to handle, easier to store and less obvious when you are using them in crowded places.

A device being practical can matter more than having the biggest screen available.

[Deep Anvil]

Used a smaller phone recently after years of larger models and the first few days felt strange.

After that, going back to a huge screen felt awkward.

There is definitely a comfort advantage that does not show up on a spec sheet.
