A 5.4" display with a 20:9 aspect ratio is a joke. The last of the Note series with the old 16:9 ratio was the 5.7" Note 5 and it was barely manageable with one hand. What exactly do you people want? I hear complaints all the time and I read them here about black bars on a Z Fold when open. Well do you want a big f*****g screen or not? My old Lumia 1520 had a 6" display and that phone was over 3-1\2" wide. I guess it was more important to not have any black bars to watch YouTube videos but now y'all want a "smaller" phone again. So as you sow, so shall ye reap.

Ultra, Max and + phones are the SUVs of smartphones. They’re obnoxious and unnecessary. In 10-20 years we’re all going to laugh about how BIG our smartphones were.

Ppl using 6”+ devices are using phablets.Phones should not be larger than 5.6-5.7”.

There unfortunately not many of us out there after phones which we use for phoning mostly.

If there were a company who makes only compact phones …that would be the next “big” thing.

The only way I go smaller is if it folds out bigger when I need it!

That's why I havw the fold6, compact phone which turns into a compact foldable. Big screen is a must these days for content consumption and productivity.

Based on hand size and ergonomics, ideal small size phone would be 152mm×72mm×8mm


flat screen with curved frame


IP68 rating


Display 6.4 inches LTPO OLED

Battery size 4500 mah and above

Fast wired charging > 67W much needed


Wide, Ultrawide and telephoto sensor with autofocus on front and all rear cameras with upto 4K 60 fps recording

Power efficient processor with support for on device AI ( S-8sGen3 or above)


IR blaster and Ultra wide band support


None of the current small phones fulfill all criteria.

Still rocking the iphone 12 mini with zero plans to give it up. Everyone that “needs” a large phone because “netlix, games, etc.” seriously needs to grow up. I have TVs and entertainment rooms for that. That’s why i paid a lot of money for the projector and screen in my theater room. I need my phone for calls, some texts, and occasional web surfing. Nothing more. If i need something to entertain myself with while traveling that’s why i have my laptop and tablet for. I definitely don’t need to walk around with a tv in my pocket.
