~~Can you find any recent phone with a smaller screen?~~

Edit: I meant smaller phones rather than smaller screen, see the impact of bezels below

Pixel 8a, Galaxy S25, iPhone 16 and 16e are all smaller.

So, they're smaller, right? Or is that not how measurements work?

This whole argument is nonsense, and doesn't change the pint that 6.3 is not "compact".

That we can find any phone smaller given the market today, means it isn't compact.

The Samsung S4 Mini was compact compared to the S4, by design.

I think you're mixing screen size and phone size. the size of the screen is itself big but the phone's print is small.
