Thing is, on the Android side I see it too and OEMs there have a *LOT* more freedom. The fact that so few are at all reasonably sized and almost all are internally junk says that the market itself really is — overall — just buying large phones.

And I absolutely abhor that this is true.

My best phone ever at its time was the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. Very premium hardware inside for its time. A good fast CPU, enough RAM, etc etc. I later got a Z5 Compact which was almost as good with better hardware, but not as durable and slightly worse side grips.

These things fit **IN** my hand, not **AROUND** my hand as is the popular trend. And they were really *mostly* intended for the Japanese market. Sad thing is, SONY seems to have phased out doing compact models.
