Zanco Tiny T1 - Black - World's Smallest 3GB Mobile Phone

Product Information

Its power, battery life, and build are all middling, but then this comes in at a middling price, so that’s forgivable. Note also that we’re just talking about the standard Pixel 4a here, not the Pixel 4a 5G, which is slightly too big to make this list. Once again, it's an ideal device for people who want to work out without a bulky traditional phone, or for people who want to stay connected discreetly. That is, connected in a limited way as the AIEK M5 is only a feature phone. With the Samsung Galaxy S22, you get a 6.1-inch HDR10+ Super AMOLED display with FHD+ at a 2340 x 1080 resolution, as well as a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. If you care at all about screen quality, then the Galaxy S22 is the way to go as far as small phones go. And think about it — this is an entry-level phone in the S22 lineup, and it has 120Hz refresh rate. Pretty impressive!

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is getting on a bit now, but if you want a compact Galaxy S phone this remains your best option. The phone, which is designed by former Samsung executives, lets you partially disconnect from all the noise and distractions on your main device. If you use your phone for business, the Palm is an excellent way to cut loose at weekends or when you're on vacation.

The Unihertz Jelly Pro runs on Android 7.0 and can connect to 4G networks. Under the hood, you'll find 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The screen is 2.45 inches. At 2.5 inches, the screen on the Anica i8 is slightly larger than the other phones on the list. Its additional 0.1 inches might not sound like much, but at such small scales, every extra pixel matters. Performance is middling rather than great, but the Sony Xperia 10 IV takes excellent photos thanks to its triple-lens rear camera setup. Low-light photography isn't its strength but a 2x optical zoom is useful while a triple-lens 12MP wide, 8MP telephoto and 8MP ultrawide rear camera gives you plenty of options. Measuring just 3.6 x 1.7 x 0.5 inches, the Unihertz Jelly Pro is one of the smallest fully-functioning smartphones you'll be able to find. When the physical size of hands stopped manufacturers from making phones wider, they still went taller, pushing the screen height-to-width ratio from the common 16:9 to 19:9 or 19.5:9. Sony has gone as far as 21:9, making very tall, narrow phones that beautifully display 21:9 video originally intended for wide-screen TVs. If you care about "small" only in the sense of reaching across your phone, one of those phones might be a good option.

The iPhone 12 mini is that rare thing – a phone that’s not only genuinely small, but also genuinely high-end. As the name suggests, it’s basically the iPhone 12 in a smaller size, with a 5.4-inch 1080 x 2340 OLED screen. The device itself is 3.5 x 1.77 x 0.31 inches and weighs 7.05 ounces. That's notably more than some of the other phones we've discussed. For the extra weight, you gain improved speakers, Bluetooth support, and dual SIM support. It’s still small though, and there’s a lot to like here – including that display, which uses OLED tech and at 1080 x 2340 is fairly sharp. Palm breadth tells you how wide a phone can be before it falls out of your hand; thumb length tells you how wide a screen can be and still be usable in one hand. According to an old NASA study cited by HealthLine, the average handbreadth is 3.1 inches for women and 3.5 inches for men. The Center for Construction Research and Training estimates are a bit lower: 2.91 inches for women and 3.3 inches for men. A 2012 New York Magazine story cites a US Army study that claims the average thumb length is 2.74 inches for men and 2.49 inches for women. So, that 2.8-inch phone width from LG is just a hair wider than the full reach of the average male thumb.Speed wise, the iPhone 13 mini uses Apple's A15 Bionic chipset so it's fast and easily capable of multitasking. iOS 15 works super smoothly here. Just count on paying for the privilege as it's pricier than the iPhone 12 mini that came before it. If you want the Google Pixel experience, then you can't go wrong with the Google Pixel 6a. Even though it'll be replaced by the Pixel 7a in the coming months, it's still available for sale and it's still one of the best from Google. It's the smallest Pixel (6.1-inch display) that you can buy, and on top of that, the phone is lightweight, making it comfortable to use for longer periods of time.
