The big screen in the smartphone universe and the bigger features have led many to ask: Will it make sense for users to invest in compact premium smartphones? Actually, can small-sized phones outperform those baddest guns?
Small But Premium: Small-but Touch All Bases
These small premium smartphones usually come with screens less than 6.1 inches and still offer high-end features, performance levels synonymous with flagship devices. Examples for this device category are the iPhone 13 mini, the ASUS Zenfone 11 Ultra, or even the Galaxy S24 Compact.
Performance Issues?
This raises the main question: do they not perform? Certainly not. Most of them run the same chip as what is usually in larger phones-the Snapdragon 8 Gen series or Apple's A17 Pro chip. As far as RAM, storage speed, or performance of the GPU is concerned, compact ones are on par with larger devices.
For Daily Use?
Holding compact phones, operating with one hand, and slipping easily into one's pocket-this is usually the size a person needs who does not play heavy games or multitask. If someone usually edits videos or spends time watching popular Netflix content on a big screen, then this will not cut it-clean, sharp, but small.
Batteries and Heating Issues?
Yes, very small form factor, which means that more miniaturization of the battery has also happened. Even then, with very heavy usage, the charge might drain quite fast. On top of that, for extended time frames of gaming or shooting 4K videos, heating problems might also crop up.
Profit Versus Price Difference?
Most would say, "If it's going to perform like a smaller phone, why get a larger screen?" A lot of people think, on the other hand, "Why a smaller phone at a higher price?" But then, brands like Apple or ASUS prove that a smaller phone doesn't mean less powerful; rather, it is a premium, affirmed choice.
For those who can operate a phone one-handed without performance compromise, a compact premium phone is the best choice. People wanting to game and multitask, or consume media, would usually go for a larger screen.
