What we think about it:
nickthaskater - ""Compact" meaning 0.2mm taller than an S23 and 1.8mm thicker than an S23."
cutelyaware - ""Compact" meaning fits in a pocket"
ryzhehvost - "5.9" is now "compact"... ffs"
Venomous0425 - "Get bigger pockets"
ryzhehvost - "Bigger pockets is easy, getting bigger hands is a bit harder..."
DivinoAG - "What if you're a woman, and your clothes have no pockets?"
Venomous0425 - "Woman’s purse. Apart from that I’ve no idea lol. I’m not a woman. That must be bit difficult for woman to carry their stuff if their clothes have no pockets."
other_goblin - "It's the same as a 5 inch phone with 16:9 aspect ratio though, not sure why people ignore the bezels on old phones."
ryzhehvost - "Because I don't have to reach bazel with my finger. This is not the same. It would be kinda the same if all area of bazel were in the lower side of the phone, but I never seen phones with 1" bazel. And, apart from that, 5" was kinda maximum I was able to handle, and my hand size is above average."
other_goblin - "If your hand size is above average why can't you reach?"
ryzhehvost - "I don't even know what to answer to you. Because that's how universe works?"
other_goblin - "I can reach to the top of my phone without issue and it is 6.8 inches? I'm not really sure how you can't reach"
ryzhehvost - "I'm really happy that your hands are so huge and flexible."
other_goblin - "They're above average but it seems to me that you're holding the phone weird or something idk how you are having issue with it"
anengineerandacat - "I just don't understand, at some point folks will have literal tablets as "phones"."
Aeroka - "God I wish there were more smaller phones, the iPhone se, minis and the ZenFone just ain't enough. The last "smaller" phone I had was the pixel 5 and that was a buggy mess."
Koedt - "How small do you need it to be? I had been using a 12 mini for years (just switched to s23), the thing is small man. Its pushing the limits but still be useable for media content."
Aeroka - "I went into an Apple Store recently to see what it’s like and the mini is great, messed around with it, watched a couple vids and I didn’t feel like I had to squint or anything to feel more comfortable viewing. I recently rented out the 11 pro for the month to try out iOS (first time using in 10 years) so I might go for the 13 mini at some point next year"
OldBlueLegs - "So much power that it will stop working approximately 1-2 days after warranty expires."
