compact
6.10 inches
We need to stop measuring phone compactness by screen size, and do it by… the actual phone size.
‘6.1 inches’ makes you think “jesus, this phone must be massive, my old phone was like 4.8 inches!”, but it completely ignores how much bezels have shrunk over the years.
E.g. the Galaxy S24 has a 6.2" screen, surely that phone is massive, right? Well it turns out it has a total frontal area only 0.8% larger than the Galaxy S5 that came out 10 years ago, despite the screen size being over an inch larger.
“6.1 inch” means practically nothing on its own.
It is indeed a bit more compact due to its width, but it is pretty long too. But it should at least be comfortable to use with one hand, assuming the app controls are towards the bottom.
I still use my Pixel 4a and to me pretty much all phones nowadays are brick sized. It was pretty much the one of two compact sizes available at the time I bought it. It’s like 144 mm x 69 mm and if I look for phones that size now that got released in the last couple years I only find old school style phones like the Nokia 105, and it is almost exclusively Chinese companies now too. I can only hope that it does not break anytime soon.
Although not super compact the 21:9 ratio makes it quite slim
It’s compact if you compare to most other android smartphones which have 6.7-6.8 inches of display size.
I use my headphone jack daily. It’s nice to see there are still (albeit very few) manufacturers providing this
Woah that 77% rating seems kind of trash? I’ll definitely look more into other models for reference.
