minus-square@Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-21 month agoSo, they’re smaller, right? Or is that not how measurements work? This whole argument is nonsense, and doesn’t change the pint that 6.3 is not “compact”. That we can find any phone smaller given the market today, means it isn’t compact. The Samsung S4 Mini was compact compared to the S4, by design.
minus-square@TheFrirish@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoI think you’re mixing screen size and phone size. the size of the screen is itself big but the phone’s print is small.

minus-square@Blaze@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish3•1 month agoIndeed, will edit my comment to ask about smaller phones
minus-square@shitescalates@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoScreen size has a direct effect on one handed use. Bezels dont matter as much as people make them out to. Regardless, not being too much bigger than other recent phones does not make it compact
minus-square@Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoI’d rather have bezels - they make holding a phone easier.
minus-square@Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoPlenty. And that’s an irrelevant strawman and goalpost move all rolled into one anyway. I’m currently running a Pixel 5,which is noticeably smaller. 6.3 is not compact.
minus-square@Blaze@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoNowadays, any smartphone below 155mm can probably be considered compact. under 150mm: small 150mm - 155mm: compact 155 - 160mm: average above 160mm: large There are 12 Android phones released between 2023 and today under 150mm: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&nHeightMax=150&sFormFactors=1&idOS=2 I’m accounting for phones that can actually be purchased new, or second hand from up to two years ago. The Pixel 5 was released in 2020.

By 0.1 inch?

You specifically said screen 🤷
Indeed, will edit my comment to ask about smaller phones
