Screen with best sunlight legibility of the three. Relatively large body for the screen size. Non-expandable storage and the cheapest 16GB version is barely enough. Smallest storage out of the box: 16GB (but it's cheaply expandable via a microSD). Big 2,600mAh battery, 2x the battery life. IP68 rating: dust tight, waterproof beyond 1 meter for over 30 minutes. Big, high resolution sensor: 1/2.3", 20.7MP. Each phone has a few features the other two can't match, and that works the other way around too. In a three-way fight punches will be flying left and right so let's introduce the contestants before the commotion starts. The aluminum unibody get even more refined. The Apple iPhone 6 is the golden mean between the old 4" design and Apple's first phablet, the 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus. It all worked out just fine and the new design was shared by the almighty Galaxy Note 4.Īpple took pride in having the best small phone for years but even Cupertino had to admit 4 inches just wasn't enough. The Galaxy Alpha put metal back in Samsung's lineup, shaving off some thickness and weight along the way. Samsung couldn't bother beefing up the mini and started from scratch. And it was only just starting - Sony came up with the Xperia Z3 Compact, which is easily one of the best-equipped phones out there, regardless of size. 
The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact opened up a whole new niche early this year by squeezing flagship specs in a smaller body. It's how we ended up with 5.5" monsters being called "phones" (we can name several 5.5-inchers off the top of our heads, they are that popular). Each year manufacturers come out with new features but like a movie sequel they feel compelled to go bigger than last time. It's a sad reality for those who prefer compact - not small! - phones. These three are not just exceptions to the rule. The Apple iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact are probably having the time of their life too. At a time when the best features seem to only come with the largest display, there's a strange, almost rebellious feel to it. We're looking for the best phone with a sub-5" screen.
