I think Sony makes the best performance small phones for android sadly no modern android mini phones with good performance
We need a new category called mini smartphones
Listing phones at size 4 inch too 5 inch
The compact phone category is basically all mid size phones if not close to tablet size

Anon, 16 Aug 2022Still too big. The XZ1C is as big as I'll go and it's 129mm. The soyes k touch i11s mini smartphone
It's a generic smartphone it's 4.8 inch and a thin phone
With android 9 and mediatek processor
With ram and storage opinions up to 4gb ram & 64 GB storage possibly higher spec versions exist
Should be small enough
It's a budget phone but should be reasonable in terms of performance
There's other generic phones that are being made at small size but with questionable specs and claims
It's hard too find brand name phones that are small still being made
So possibly are best choice is buying generic phones and using cpuz too make sure we get what we pay for
And just make sure the phone supports 4g and network Carrer
It's not allowed on any trustworthy site for sellers too fake specs so if you're lied too you should be able get refunded

Sony phones have a great design. They should have released the sony xperia ace 3 globally.

For me the width is important too. I'm currently using my LG G5 for my morning alarm and I just love the proportions, both practically and aesthetically.

Zenfone 8 should probably be replaced with Zenfone 9, now that the 9 has been releaed and GSMArena has a review.

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

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.

iristevski, 06 Apr 2022I think that this guide should be updated with the newest phones from 2022.Actually, yeah, you’re right, there’s the s22 and se2022, but still, I miss compact, affordable and feature rich android phones like my old moto g3

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