Very true. Same height/length, and wider!

Miss my Sony Xperia Compact. Would love to see that form factor again.
3mm narrower width is not minor difference IMO
but "iPhone 14/14 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S23" ARE compact phones. At least by modern standard. They're not talked about as such because they're flagships deliberately made smaller so Apple and Samsung can charge more for the ultras
Not sure why this one gets so much press as a compact phone.
