Smartphone sales fall for the first time, says Gartner

I have the same impression recently. It's nearly impossible to get a good compact phone.

My last one was Sony Xperia X Compact. XZ1 Compact is basically a clone with slightly better specs, no point to upgrade. XZ2 compact while getting beefier lost the headphone jack.

I'm basically waiting and hoping for Xiaomi to release some nice compact in 2018.

That's (iOS) not a solution for me.

EDIT:

Also, it's only 4in display with even worse screen-to-body ratio than Xperia.
