I really like my Nexus 6p but I never get used to it's size... It's super huge! It got a 5,7" screen size...
I'm trying to find smaller Android phones and I can't find anything interesting, seems like all the phones are big these days.
Do you have any suggestion of compact cellphones ??

I've had 'mini' versions of sony z3 and htc one recently. Both really good (same screens as full-sized versions).
The sony is like a bar of soap though. You only have to look at it to send it flying.

- check with your provider, but depends on what type of phone (same model but compatible with carriers) I bought one for sprint for example and it won't work forMiguex
- ..at&t so just check compatibility between your carrier and make sure it's unlocked for that specific carrier, then double check with them before purchasingMiguex
- they said to me to check if the wireless capabilities are compatible, and it is.Bennn
- then you should be fine. It worked for me! Just had to do some research to make sureMiguex
- check the frequency bands as well, else you'll be stuck with a nice phone at 3G speeds or worse.dorf

I have the Z5 Compact and think it is, hands-down, the best phone I have owned - having used various Apple and Android handsets over the years. It looks great, feels solid, and has excellent battery life thanks to the smaller screen.
I only ever really use phones for playing music, so having the expandable storage is great - with a 32GB card I can carry 2500+ tracks and not even touch the storage on the phone itself.
If you are after a smaller phone, I would heartily recommend the Z5 and even the Z3 which, truth be told, isn't a kick in the arse away from the Z5 in terms of performance - especially now that it has a legit developer version of Android N.
- and it's waterproof, so when you're fighting tigers and need to escape, you can leap in rivers.face_melter
- some reviews says the 720p screen is disapointing, are you disapointed?Bennn
- Not at all - those kind of specs mean shit-all to me. There's no need for a screen of that size to be above 720p. It's bright and has colour balance options.face_melter
- If you're the kind of person who is het up about phone ppi then you need to have a word with yourself.face_melter
- Not you, *you*, of course - the wider, public, meaning of the word.face_melter
- are games crisps?Bennn
- Dunno. Not a phone game person, at all. But I will say this - it can get noticeably hot if stressed, like using the internet for prolonged periods.face_melter
- One of the known issues with the 810 chip, not only on the Z5 but across all phones which use it.face_melter
- Love seeing 'het' used online :)detritus

the Samsung Galaxy S7 seems not too big too.. got pretty nice reviews. The design of the Sony Z5 Compact is so dope tho.
- sony mods of Android make it even better to use! The Z series rocks!robotron3k

can't wait for the trend of huge-ass phones to fade into the deep anus of hell already. Iphone 3g had the perfect size, now they try to push these ipad looking things and everyone has to make tailored modifications to their pockets.
Standard Levi's are just not compatible with ipad sized phones

Thats why i want to switch, i feel ridiculous with my huge Nexus 6p and i'm struggling to manipulate it and i need a bag just to carry it because it wont fit in my pockets...
- Tried going back to a larger phone just recently, a Nexus 5X, thing was was just too awkward and bulky for me. Lasted a week or so before I returned to the Z5C.face_melter
