Sony is working on the Xperia Compact, a 5.5-inch phone for lovers of small devices

small = ~130cm tall, 3.5 audio jack, oled,wireles charging, sd card slot, gps.
Everything else is bonus :)

All of this specs has older phones, like Lumia735. Now in year 2020 nothing like this exists.

Because no one--relatively, at least--would buy it.

IF it doesnt exist, no one can buy it :)
Looks like manufactures has this dogma: small = cheap. And it goes against the specification... Missing feature here and there, so no one is satisfied/impressed by the result.

5.5 inches is not "small," and "who would buy it" is all the people who bought the previous models that actually WERE small. Let me just remind you, Xperia's last Compact was more popular than its full-size phones, and has also held its value better. People are still buying it even though it's 2 years old, still really expensive, and frankly not that good.

You can't say "no one would buy" smaller phones when no one is even making smaller phones. People can't buy something that doesn't exist. Tons of us are tired of phablets and want something we can operate with one hand. A 5.5. inch display does NOT qualify.

Xperia has been slowly screwing up its Compact line for years now, and I'm officially jumping ship. The iPhone SE 2020 gets my money now, for actually making a relatively compact phone. I still wish it was smaller, but it's better than this crap, especially given how obnoxious Sony's software is and their absurd design-by-committee chasses.

Is this phone available yet? I am an Apple refugee, sad that the new iPhone SE is actually the size of an iPhone 8, at 67mm wide (vs original SE at 58mm wide) and thus I can't hold it. I had been waiting and hoping and am now looking to jump ship! I'd welcome hearing about any current phones under 64 mm wide.

Hopely this is really coming. Earlier i use Nokia 700 phone, and i love it. So Small, and so easy to carry. And display, it's not small to use.

This time 99% of phones are way too big. I do not need big screen, becouse i wathc tv in livingroom.

So please Sony, make my wish to come true, make a smaller phone  :)
