In a world of phablets, some of the smallestsmartphones can still pack a punch. We take a look at some of the best smaller smartphones you can buy right now.
While the biggest smartphones can still fit in our back pockets , there are plenty of smaller smartphones that function as well, if not better, than their behemoth counterparts. Smaller cell phones are easier to carry and have easy-to-navigate screens that only need one hand. Thankfully, you don’t have to sacrifice performance with a smaller phone. If you’re on the hunt for the smallest smartphones that pack the biggest punch, then you’re in the right place.
Who it’s for: Anyone who wants the best performance from a small smartphone, regardless of whether it’s iOS or Android. The iPhone 12 Mini had a weaker battery than most of its larger siblings, and that put it to a major advantage against other flagship phones. The iPhone 13 Mini is slightly improved in this respect and now features a 2,438mAh battery, which is about 10% bigger than the previous generation. For most casual users, this battery should be enough to last about a day if not more.
Why we picked the ASUS ZenFone 8: The ASUS ZenFone lineup has garnered a lot of interest due to the ZenFone 6 and the ZenFone 7's flipping cameras, and while the ZenFone 8 does not feature such a camera, it instead has a small form factor that is ideal for single-handed usage. The ZenFone 8 uses Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 888 processor and has up to 16GB of RAM for absolutely stellar performance. Buyers can also choose between 128GB and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
The ASUS ZenFone 8 hits a sweet spot with its performance and its size, even if there are some problems with its battery and design. If you've been on the lookout for an Android flagship that is powerful but fits in the palm, then the ZenFone 8 might be the best small phone for you. The primary display measures 6.7 inches, so you don't compromise on real estate. Samsung achieves a bigger display size by using a longer-than-usual 22:9 aspect ratio, and this means that it will still be fairly easy to use with a single hand despite its large display. Besides adding comfort and flexibility, the display uses an AMOLED panel inside with a peak brightness of over 1200 nits.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 The best small folding phone More Apple iPhone SE The best midrange small phone Read our in-depth review Pros Cons Why you should buy this: It's small, powerful, and packs Apple's A15 Bionic chip. Under the hood, you'll find Apple's A15 Bionic chip, with 4GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of non-expandable storage. Though we don't yet have confirmation of the battery size from Apple, it does claim the new iPhone SE's battery lasts up to two hours longer than its predecessor, which gave us a solid eight hours of video streaming in tests.
Apple iPhone SE The best midrange small phone Moto G7 Play The best budget small phone Read our in-depth review Pros Cons Why you should buy this: It's a small phone you can get for a fraction of the price of an iPhone.Why we picked the Moto G7 Play: With the top flagships exceeding $1,400, you might assume there's no point in even looking at a phone priced under $200.
Who it's for: Anyone who needs a small phone that can be tucked away easily, or tossed into a bag without worry. For the Unihertz Atom, the downside is that it only runs Android 8.1 Oreo, which hasn’t had any updates — security or otherwise — since April of 2018. It’s not the phone for you if you care about having the latest and greatest OS.
