There are many phones in the smartphone world and they all have different features. While phones with screens larger than 5 inches were considered gigantic until 10 years ago, we can now say that phones with 5.7 inch screens have become the norm. Although some people love small phones, phone manufacturers are increasingly producing fewer and fewer phones with small screens. For example, Apple launched the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 Mini and then shelved the iPhone Mini along with the iPhone 14 series.

The biggest reason for this is actually due to the change in the way people use their phones. Before smartphones, people often made voice calls, but now most people prefer text messages. Since the letters on the keyboard are larger on phones with large screens, users do not have problems typing them.

Although larger screens have certain advantages, it is important to remember that people with small hands may be uncomfortable using a phone with a large screen. On the other hand, Samsung continues to produce compact phones. For example, the Galaxy S21, S22, S23 and S24 have relatively smaller screens of 6.1 or 6.2 inches.

DCS published a post on Weibo stating that OnePlus is also preparing to release a small-screen phone. Since the model name, technical specifications and release date of the phone are unknown, it is important to remember that this is preliminary information for now. OnePlus may launch a small-screen phone in the coming months.

Compact phones have long been forgotten, and that’s good news as companies try to bring them back. The Xiaomi 13 model is a compact phone with a screen diagonal of 6.36 inches. Accordingly, Xiaomi 14 also used the same screen size and although it was a small phone, it produced a sharp image with a pixel density of 460 ppi. OnePlus is preparing to enter the market with a competitive offering against Xiaomi.
