The entire screen can be reached with the thumb when the phone is held in one hand, which is a nice design feature.

Selling points for me are the headphone socket and sharp edges that for me gives a much more positive grip than thinner or rounded. Oh, and I actively don't want bezels to go away. If asked, I'd add a lanyard post to an SE 2 design. :)

If Apple's historical support practice keeps up, it'll remain in support until late 2020 or 2021.

It certainly has a lot of compute to support future iOS releases.

I'm actually pretty surprised - that now means that the iPhone 5S has now gotten software updates for 5.5 years, which I think is a record.

Average people just don't want smaller phones. So they are a nice product, and manufactures don't want to take a risk.

I don't believe this. It looks like supply and marketing pushing demand, like the SUV trend in the 00s.

androids?

There’s a ton more and some at 2.5”!

However with that price it's not bad. But for now when my Nexus 5x will eventually bootloop to a higher plane of existence I'll plan to buy last Xperia Compact in used.

Edit: in reviews people mention that there is no global version. So there's no Play store. I'll pass.

Oh and I forgot. I keep my hopes for Sharp Aquos R2 Compact. So far it's only available in Japan and I now only that it will be released in the end of April in India.

I'm not sure how I'd answer these questions, if I was in the market for a small Android phone. And frankly, it's more likely to be crap than not.

Just had to think about the Futurama episode with the myPhone.

The SE is an old phone that was arguably outdated at launch. It struggles loading fancy websites. The camera is quite outdated[1].

So why buy it?

It’s a phone that fits in my hand with being google.

[1] what modern smartphones do with their cameras is nothing short of magic. I have a Fuji X series and I rarely use it - the SE is enough.
