Title: The compact smartphone I actually want: Xiaomi 17 in a Galaxy S26 world
Post by: Redaktion on February 28, 2026, 15:31:02
Xiaomi's new compact phone is its best flagship yet and the latest Galaxy S26 and Vivo X300 rivals. It has everything from a compact design, cutting-edge hardware, and longer software support to stellar cameras and a bigger battery capacity. Here's why I feel the Xiaomi 17 is better compared to the Galaxy S26 and the Vivo X300.

Stop calling 150 mm height phones 'compact'. They are not.

Do we have phones below 150 mm that are capable of this? No, we don't. So isn't this make it a compact one, since we have S26 Ultra, Xiaomi 17 Ultra, and Vivo X300 Pro which come with a 6.9-inch display size. so compared to that this feels a compact one.

Yeah. Compact phones should be like max 145mm in height.. and get rid of these ugly looking PUNCH HOLES FFS. And give users UI customizability.
