Flagship smartphones are great, right? Super-smooth performance, awesome cameras, huge screens to enjoy your content on. But hold on β those huge screens demand a lot of room in your pocket. Some people are not fans of lugging around a slab for a smartphone.
There are people out there that prefer compact phones that stay out of the way but have the processing power and camera chops for the times you need them. Sony tried to sate that market with the Compact series in the past (and the Xperia 5 series presently, though itβs nowhere near as small), and Apple decided to dabble in compact phones with the iPhone 12 mini.
