OnePlus has made me optimistic about small phones again: Here's why

Wait 5 sec.

You can get an Android in any size as long as it is big. This is the direction the smartphone segment has headed over the last decade, with fewer compact phones. When smartphones gained traction in the early 2010s, the average screen size was under 5 inches. Today, it is above 6.5 inches. Almost no small Android phones are available today (unless you count flip-style foldables), while the rest are iPhones. Even the iPhone Mini series has been killed and replaced by its antithesis, the iPhone Plus. The Asus Zenfone 10 from 2023 is the last great compact phone.
