Since the poor sales of the iPhone 13 mini with a screen of only 5.4 inches, Apple decided not to launch small-size flagships in the iPhone 14 series, and there are fewer choices for small-screen flagships in the market. However, according to display industry analyst Ross Young, Sony may challenge the small-size mobile phone market again.
The new machine has a 6.05-inch screen
However, netizens who love Sony’s previous Compact series of small-screen mobile phones should not be too excited, because the next Sony Xperia Compact that Young refers to has a screen size of 6.05 inches. If his revelation is true, there is a big gap between the new machine and the 5-inch screen of the Xperia XZ2 Compact launched in 2018, and it is closer to the 6.1-inch screen of the Xperia 5 IV. Currently, the ASUS Zenfone 9, which is regarded as the small-sized Android flagship in the market, has a 5.9-inch screen, and Sony’s new phone has a larger screen than ASUS.
