Small Phones Are Back (But Not Like You Expect)

[@wojciechmuras553]

One problem of big phones, that foldables do not solve, is single handed operation. Users with small hands might actually prefer smaller screens, not just smaller phones.

One interesting "small" form factor that Mr Mobile neglected to mention is the Blackberry Key. No the Keys aren't small phones if you include the keyboard, yet the screen is just 4.5 inches. So if you either shift the Key to use the screen only or use the capacitive keyboard (except the KEY 2 LE), you can pretty much use the Keys one handed, at least for a few minutes lol. I think this qualifies the Keys.

I disagree with this video. I love the video, but the benefit of a small phone is that you can use it with one-hand. That's something the clamshell won't give us if it gets too big when folded open. Also, as someone who used the new Razr (I reviewed it) it got extremely annoying to have to fold open my phone every time to use it. I think phones like the Flip, or the Razr are going to go the way of the 12 mini and the compact. They will be a small segment of phones, but a segment that needs to be filled.

yes, to me Samsung Galaxy S10e is the last small compact flagship Android phone; with the expandable storage and the dual camera at the back (wide and ultra-wide), 3100mAh battery and Snapdragon 855 which could make you use the phone through the day from 7:00 a.m to 6:30 p.m with no charge in between. One tip; the less app that a phone have, the better battery life you get. So for the Samsung S10e, usually put the essential app such as Facebook Lite, Spotify, WhatsApp, Twitter, Chrome, Microsoft Office apps (Lens included), TikTok, KZbin, PhotoGrid, VSCO, Instagram, Keep, Samsung Health, Swarm, LinkedIn, FourSquare, Netflix, your bank apps, travel apps (i.e your air carrier brand), Snapseed; that's it. That's good enough for me.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S10e since august 2019, and I totally agree with those problems. While the screen still looks superb, it's just not big enough for hours of media consumption, and the battery can't give me nearly a full day of intensive usage without crippling the phone's performance with battery saving meassures.

I really like my Pixel 4a it's small-ish. Roughly the same dimensions as my old LG G6 which was my favorite phone. One nice thing about small phones is adding a case doesn't make them unwieldy.

His body language is funny 😂😂 See here: 5:29 , also here: 5:38

7:30 I had no idea that was a folding phone just staring at the screen.. Wow.

I carried xperia compacts for a whie, but then i found they were just "too small" for me with my, though i will say i loved them.

I hope we get to see an updated list at the end of the year. I still want a smaller phone in the 100-200€ range. But the best option in this class is probably a used pixel 3a.

Watching 👀 on my Z Flip.

I went from an iPhone 4S to a Galaxy S3 Mini, to a Sony Xperia X Compact, and now I'm still with a 2016 iPhone SE. The new iPhone 12 Mini (which is about the size of the 2020 SE) isn't small enough for my liking. And it isn't about pocket size to me, it's about comfortable typing and reach. I'll probably just be waiting for the AR revolution so we can get rid of phones.

Well well well! Probably the first sensible video about modern-day clamshells that I've come across! OK I'm no-way ready to engage personally in these things, at the moment anyway, but I'll keep an ear to your presentations of the future iterations that come our way. Added to that is MrMobile's presentation and delivery which sets him above everyone else. What a joy to watch. Keep it up!!!

I was hoping the Pantech C300 would make a cameo in this video! I thought it was so cool how tiny and pocketable that thing was back in the day. Definitely a phone I'd love to see over on your "When phones were fun" series!

[@Zenguy89]

That was definitely too small

[@benjaminlannstrom8312]

When he flipt that phone and allso the snappy close.... that reminds me of the day when i had a motorola flip phone... damn that feeling.

[@Debamalya]

Love your Into the Fold Series... Need more videos on that

[@DocGoku]

Actually after completing my internship I have started appreciating the perks of a small phone , i mean running around it's easier to check notification's and overall easier to use with one hand ✌️

10:23 Those isolinear chips made me nostalgic for SONY's Memory Sticks.

[@Accountholder23]

Classy, elegant, and responsible. No…not small phones, but the quality of MrMobile’s content. Thank you for always staying true to form. Side note….I miss the old Captain2Phones handle 😎

[@LeSeigneurPanda]

I just got the iPhone 12 Mini and it was a long time since i had a phone fitting my hand. I really love it
