Smallest smart phone

The Zenfone 9 may be small, but it’s one of the most impressive phones to come out this year. Not only does it sport a beautiful 5.9-inch AMOLED display, but it turned in impressive results in our benchmark tests, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. Best of all, the Zenfone 9 goes an incredibly long time on a charge, beating much larger phones with bigger batteries. Price: Starting at $699/€799 Android version: 12, ZenUI 9 Display: 5.9-inch AMOLED (2400 x 1080) Refresh rate: 120Hz (adaptive) CPU: Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 RAM: 8GB, 16GB Storage / Expandable: 128GB, 256GB / No Rear cameras: 50MP (f/1.9) main, 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide Front camera: 12MP (f/2.45) Video: Up to 8K 24 fps Battery: 4,300 mAh Battery life (Hrs:Mins): 13:13 (adaptive), 12:52 (120Hz), 13:20 (60Hz) Charging: 30W, charger included Size: 5.8 x 2.7 x 0.4 inches (146.5 x 68.1 x 9.1 mm) Weight: 6 ounces (169 g) Colors: Midnight Black, Moonlight White, Starry Blue, Sunset Red Small phones are a dying breed, with rumors suggesting that even Apple is giving up by allegedly dropping a mini model from its iPhone 14 lineup. But Asus remains undeterred, with the new Zenfone 9 continuing the legacy of powerful little handsets. With brawns to match the best phones out there while also fitting nicely in most pockets, the Zenfone 9 is an impressive device. Battery life also amazed me, with the Zenfone 9 outlasting many other flagships in our testing — sometimes by several hours. I also really like the diminut...

Introduction In a world where smartphones get bigger and bigger, one company decided to go against the grain and launch what it claims to be the smallest 4G smartphone. Meet the Mony Mint - tiny in size, but promising to fully replace your phone, while also saving you a few bucks. The phone will eventually launch with Android Pie, although our early pre-release unit was running the very dated Android Marshmallow 6.0. That won’t stop us from doing a quick review because this phone is more about the size than offering the latest and greatest Android features. And it's not like Android 9.0 is that up to date anyway. Mony Mint specs: • Body: 89.5 x 45.5 x 11.5 mm, 75g; Color: Black. • Display: 3" LCD, 480x854px resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, 270ppi. • Chipset: Mediatek MT6735: Quad-core CPU (4x1.3 GHz Cortex-A53); Mali T720 GPU. • Memory: 32 GB storage, 3 GB RAM, no micro SD slot. • OS/Software: Android 9 (advertised). • Cameras: Main: 13 MP; Front: VGA. • Video capture: Rear camera: 480p, EIS; Front camera: 480p. • Battery: 1250mAh. • Misc: USB-C port, dual micro SIM slot. The Mony Mint is currently available for $99 to various early backers though crowdfunding platforms, but the official retail price will be $150. It is cheaper than the There is only one storage option here - 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, obviously without a slot for microSD cards. We can't see anyone downloading huge 4K videos on this phone or overusing its camera so the limited space shouldn't be a huge issue....

But, there is certainly still a consumer base for small phones in Australia and you'll find some manufacturers are still committed to the cause. Apple is one such brand doing its part to keep compact phones in people's hands, with the latest The iPhone SE isn't the only small phone on Apple's books, with the Cupertino-based company also offering the iPhone mini. However, the iPhone mini line suffered its inevitable fate upon the arrival of the But it's clear the handset doesn't have much company, as smartphone displays continue to get larger and larger. That's fine for people who like big screens, but there are precious few options for those who prefer something they can comfortably use one-handed. Trust us, we think this is quite the tragedy.

The 5.4-inch OLED display is still crisp with excellent colors an...

Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. (Opens in a new window) Smartphones have been slowly expanding in size, and we're now at the point where the majority are difficult to use with just one hand. Flagships are huge: Apple and Samsung reserve their best cameras, biggest batteries, and most capacious storage for the 3-inch-wide, hand-buster phones in their Max and Ultra models, respectively. But it's still possible to find small, good phones that fit in your hand, give you all the features you want, and generally don't break the bank. With that in mind, these are the best small phones we've tested.
