Editor’s comment on small-screen mobile phones:
In recent times, small-screen mobile phones have lost their grip on phone users. Even in the Android camp, users are not so keen on small mobile phones. In the Android camp, Xiaomi 13 has one of the smallest screens in recent times. Even at that, this device uses a 6.36-inch display. In all honesty, there is no place for a < 6.0-inch display in the mobile phone market
