Reviewing the best compact phones in 2024, including mini favourites like Google's Pixel 8 and Samsung's Galaxy S24. This round-up of the greatest smaller smartphones also features foldable handsets like Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Motorola's RAZR 40 Ultra. Here's hoping my pick of the best compact phones grows with an actual Zenfone 11, the Pixel 9 and more!
Unboxings and reviews are live on Tech Spurt for most of these mini mobiles.
So far in 2024 we've not seen many dinky blowers at all, especially as Asus decided to launch an Ultra phone instead. The Xiaomi 14 only just about scrapes into this 'best of' collection as it's pleasingly hand-friendly compared with most rivals - and a brilliant phone. That camera pumps out gorgeous snaps, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 means fluid gaming and battery life is also tops.
Other notable small phones right now include Samsung's Galaxy S24, the Pixel 8 and Sony's Xperia 5 V (which will suit professional photographers).
For a budget, you have the Pixel 7a, soon to be replaced with the Pixel 8a. Or alternatively, if you're stacked with cash, check out the Moto RAZR 40 Ultra and Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5. These are some of my favourite foldables in 2024, offering a compact design with a slick Android experience.
If you're more of an iOS fan, check out the iPhone 15 - or even better, the iPhone 13 Mini.
