I suppose it depends on your definition of small and powerful. My phone is smaller in width and height than the SE (which is what your gsm arena filters on), but has a larger volume due to being twice as thick and weighs 3g less.

With 6GB of ram and a 8-core (4 big + 4 little) 2GHz MediaTek CPU, it's more powerful than the dual core A9. On the other-hand its 480x854 screen is much lower resolution.

Can I ask what phone that is?

I admit I'm being a little unfair on "small", to suit my own preference. But you could fit a 5" edge-to-edge screen in original SE size (the iPhone 13 mini has a 5.4" screen), and it'd be fantastic. Hell you could do a 4" screen - same size screen as the original SE - but make it edge-to-edge and the phone would be tiny and just as functional (except maybe battery life...).

Unihertz Jelly 2. 3" screen, Android 11.

That looks really neat and it's not on GSMArena for some reason, or else it would appear in my linked search. I kinda thought they had everything.

I have a first-gen iPhone SE and it's been great, but the hardware is starting to wear out. I actually bought a Unihertz Jelly to migrate to but I'm waiting until the iPhone SE becomes unusable before switching over. How are you finding the Jelly?

I commented here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30606598 TL;DR everything is "okay" or better except the camera, which is terrible.

In fact, the A9 is likely at least as fast as the Helio P60 your Jelly’s got. It generally performs better than the Snapdragon 835, which is a higher performance implementation of the A73 + A53 design.
