It’s actually compact, cheap, has oled, in-screen fingerprint reader, stock Android, NFC, Snapdragon SOC, supports GSI and has unlockable bootloader. Seems like a perfect phone (well except nonexpandable storage), so what’s the catch?
It isn’t that compact. Comparatively, sure, but objectively, no. My samsung s10e is smaller and more lightweight and it’s not even that compact in my opinion. There hasn’t been a truly compact mainstream phone since the Sony xperia xz1 compact. Before that it was the moto g. IPhone mini was pretty small, but fuck apple though.
Agree, but at the same time we also haven’t seen a true big phone as well. Something like the Galaxy Mega, Huawei Mate 20X or Xperia Z Ultra.
Its very unfortunate we only get phones between 6.0" and 6.8".
Like this?
Seen it in person yesterday and while it’s not iPhone Mini-compact, it is very tiny compared to my Redmi Note 10 Pro
zenphone might be another option for you too, I know that one was relatively standard/normal sized. Can’t call them compact, in my opinion.
Unfortunately Zenphone is at least twice as expensive
sounds about right…
Its not compact, not waterproof, no wireless charging and not available in the US.
it is compact in terms of Android devices, don’t care for waterproofness, fair point for wireless charging, I’m not American.
Also large battery (4000mAh)
That’s actually small. For 6.3 inches I would expect 4500-5000.
The catch is probably Motorola’s lackluster software update commitment (I think it’s around 2 years. It’s already been updated once, so you only have 1 big OS update left.) and the terrible chipset. The Snapdragon 695 isn’t that much better than the Snapdragon 732G and the Snapdragon 732G phone I had was constantly dropping frames in the simplest animations even 2 years ago. This is not a good buy.
