New phone time, and I want a small format Android with a decent camera. An iPhone mini with Android OS would be perfect, but there's no direct competition I can see.

Samsung is expensive, but hits all 3 criteria, (assuming the camera is decent?) and O2 are doing a generous trade on offer on the old hardware that reduces the price from 😱 to 🤔

I have just bought a Sony experia 10 iii as I was fed up with size of my Samsung and so far for £320 off giff gaff website I'm liking it
Waterproof and great battery camera is okay but not amazing

I have a z3 flip, came with the watch and buds.

I love it, camera is good enough for me and now evertime I pick up a normal phone it seems comically big.

Ah, that's all good to hear, thanks.

@dirtyboy - it's an Xperia that's getting replaced. This is the second one I had, the (much) older one had a far better camera and app. I chose this one because of the previous camera quality, so it's always been a disappointment! Oh,  and that one you linked is hardly compact!! 😁

There might be a Pixel 6a coming out shortly. May be smaller than the standard one?
Camera will be excellent.

Standard 6 is £599 so it'll probably only be £400

I looked at one, will admit the newness of the foldable technology put me off. Ended up getting a S21 (the standard model), it's 6.2" which is fairly small these days. It's replacing a 6.7" A70, which worked fine but was just too large to sit comfortably in my front pocket.

Ooh, that's tricky because the big trade in discount is time limited. Hmm, how long do I wait? 🤔

Didn't wait.

Had it a couple of days now, and I must admit I rather like it.  It does have a nice small footprint, but the tradeoff is it's a bit thick when folded.
