Does anyone know of a decent sub 5-inch phone? All the reviews sites seem to ignore this factor. My old 4.3" moto X is dying and I'm hoping to find a truly pocketable replacement.

- andrepd 10y agoCheck the Sony compact series, or some Chinese brand phone.
- dhd415 10y agoThe "compact" phones in the Sony Xperia line are really the only ones that come close. My wife is still happily using her Z3 Compact though its successor, the Z5 Compact, didn't review as well. The newest Xperia X Compact is getting decent reviews.
- IanCal 10y agoAnother vote for the Z3C. Small, fast enough for me, and I can easily get two days out of it.
- oconnor0 10y agoIs the Z3C getting Android updates? How is the Sony software/skin/bloatware/addons compared to the cleanness of the Nexus line?
- paulgb 10y agoOn the Z3C, the Sony bloatware is bad. Apparently they've reduced it a bit since then but I haven't gone back. The hardware is nice, it's a shame they have to ruin it with crap.
- Symbiote 10y agoI fiddled with various settings, and I think managed to disable almost all the bloatware. I get a notification about every two months that Sony's updater needs an update. I'm pleased with the phone otherwise, and would buy it again.
- 5555624 10y agoSony provided an update to 6.0.1 I did not think the bloatware was as bad as a carrier-branded phone and most of it appears easy enough to delete. For a personal phone, I'd buy the Z3C again. (For my second, work phone, I liked the Z3C enough that I decided to go with a Z3, which I also like.)
