The original iPhone in 2007 was a 3.5-inch "giant screen", while the screen of mainstream smartphones was 5.5-inch in 2015, and now it is 6.4-6.6-inch. The iPhone 12 mini with a 5.4 inch screen tells us that there are not so many small screen users with a relatively "tragic" sales volume.

However, some Zen minimalist users only need simple communication and payment for mobile phones. In the market, there is indeed a category of "mini smart phones" that has been ignored by the public. This time, we will make an inventory for you. These batch of mini smart phones running the true Android system have full functions, but the screen is only 2.45-3.5-inch (unfortunately, in 2021, 3.5-inch screens can only be called mini).

In addition to Palm, these mini smart phones are not only light, space saving, but also very money saving. If the large and small screens can help you quit the habit of playing mobile phones, they will also "save time".

PS：

The screen size is measured by the diagonal length. During the evolution from 16:9 screen to 20:9/21:9 screen, the screen size grows in "numbers" faster than people's original understanding.

It is much more difficult to find small screen mobile phones in this era than before. The mainstream mobile phone screens are 6.43/6.5/6.56 and 6.67/6.8 inches. For example, the Galaxy S20/S21 and Meizu 18 with a 6.2 inch screen are rare small screen phones.

 

Looking back at the era when Nokia and Android were handed over, in fact, touch screens with 2.8-inch to 3-inch screens were also popular, but today's apps, information density and interactive functions are no longer the same. In addition, most apps are designed for screens over 6.4 inches, which leads to the fact that the experience of 3-inch screens is far less than before.

The year of its release can be seen from the camera matrix of the high imitation iPhone 11 Pro. However, since the frequency band is being cleared in China, it is not recommended to buy a mobile phone that does not support 4G.

After all, they are all niche models, let alone price performance, let alone performance. But the last three sets are small brands and like to play with rendered pictures. Only when you can play with them can you try bravely (masochistic funny. jpg).
