Mobile phones have gotten way bigger over the last few years. And some are so chunky in fact, that they barely fit in your pocket now. Luckily, small screen smartphones are making a big comeback. Brands like Samsung and Doro are designing pint sized mobiles you can pop in your jeans, no problem. When you need something light and portable, they should definitely be high on your wish list.
But why else would you get one? Well, for a start, they fit in one hand. With a smaller screen you can easily use your phone without worrying about dropping it - and ending up with an expensive repair bill. Plus, there’s the battery life. Small mobile phones usually use less power, meaning they’ll go for longer before you need to plug in for a top up. You might not even need to take your charger with you.
It’s not all just about the practical stuff though. If you’re a style conscious techy, smaller phones can be slimmer and more fashionable. After all, lugging round a massive mobile doesn’t look the coolest.
Small Samsung phones
Samsung is a big player when it comes to small phones. They’ve got a couple of great models that are ideal if you prefer a smaller screen. Here’s two of the best small screen Samsung phones you can get right now:
Samsung Galaxy A12:
6.5” screen size.
Battery life up to 2 days.
48MP quad camera system.
64GB of storage (expandable via microSD).
The Samsung Galaxy A12 might be pretty compact. But it’s packing a lot of features under the hood. We’re big fans of the long-lasting battery, vibrant display and slim design. It’s great when you want a small phone, but don’t want to skimp out on performance.
Samsung Galaxy A03s:
6.5” screen size.
Battery life up to 2 days.
13MP triple camera system.
32GB of storage (expandable via microSD).
The small Samsung phones keep on coming. The Galaxy A03 is a budget friendly small screen phone. It’s got a similar set of features to the Galaxy A12 but won’t break the bank.
Small Android phones
If you want even more choice, Android has you covered. Here are some of the best small screen Android phones:
Google Pixel 5a:
6.34” screen size.
Battery life up to 24 hours.
12.2MP dual camera system.
128GB of storage.
This compact powerhouse packs in a high-quality camera, long battery life and a seriously slim build. If you’re into snapping stunning Insta pics, we reckon you’ll love the Google Pixel 5a.
Motorola Moto G Power:
6.6” screen size.
Battery life up to 3 days.
48MP dual camera system.
64GB of storage.
The Motorola G Power goes the distance. Its large battery will easily last the day (and maybe even the next), while the more than decent camera is perfect for a quick selfie or two.
Small phone FAQs
Is 5.4 inches small for a phone?
It’s smaller than the average, yes, but with today’s small phones, you don’t lose anything in terms of quality or connectivity. What you do get is a high-quality small smartphone with all the features and functionality of its bigger cousins, but at a lighter weight while taking up less space in your pocket or bag. Plus, with a compact cell phone, it’s more likely that you’ll be able to do everything you need with just one hand, rather than two.
Are small phones coming back?
They never went away! However, today’s small screen phones are a lot lighter than those of a few years ago, and a good deal more powerful too, with bags of added functionality and connectivity. We’ve got a huge range of small screen mobile phones for you to choose from, including everything from small Samsung phones to small iPhones, such as the iPhone SE.
Are there any small Android phones?
If you’re looking for an Android phone with a small screen size, we have some great options in stock. As already mentioned, the Alcatel 1B 2022 is a compact phone that represents great value for money, and comes armed with an 8MP main camera and a 5MP selfie camera. The Google Pixel 6a is a little larger with a 6.1 inch display, but still enables you to enjoy a whole heap of big-phone quality in a small smartphone body. With a 12MP dual camera and 8MP selfie camera, it’s great for photography while it’s still a little sleeker than slightly bigger Samsung Galaxy and iPhone options with similar specs.
What are the best small phones?
It all depends on what you want it for. If you’re looking for a small smartphone for the elderly, then the Doro 8100 is a great choice. With a 6.1 inch HD+ display, it’s not the biggest screen available but it is super simple to use and visually it’s clear, plus, the sound is louder and the buttons are larger. There’s also an assistance button should you need to call for help.
However, if you’re looking for a small phone version of one of the leading smartphone models out there, then we have small Android phones, small Samsung phones and small iPhones which come packed with all the great functionality and features you know and love, but at a more pocket-friendly size and price point.
