It's actually compact, cheap, has oled, in-screen fingerprint reader, stock Android, NFC, Snapdragon SOC, supports GSI and has unlockable bootloader. Seems like a perfect phone (well except nonexpandable storage), so what's the catch?

It isn't that compact. Comparatively, sure, but objectively, no. My samsung s10e is smaller and more lightweight and it's not even that compact in my opinion. There hasn't been a truly compact mainstream phone since the Sony xperia xz1 compact. Before that it was the moto g. IPhone mini was pretty small, but fuck apple though.

Seen it in person yesterday and while it's not iPhone Mini-compact, it is very tiny compared to my Redmi Note 10 Pro

zenphone might be another option for you too, I know that one was relatively standard/normal sized. Can't call them compact, in my opinion.

Unfortunately Zenphone is at least twice as expensive

sounds about right...

Agree, but at the same time we also haven't seen a true big phone as well. Something like the Galaxy Mega, Huawei Mate 20X or Xperia Z Ultra.

Its very unfortunate we only get phones between 6.0" and 6.8".
