Many years have passed since the last smartphones with 5-inch and 4-inch displays. Today, many companies stick to smartphones that offer displays larger than 6,2 inches. The recently launched Meizu 18 and Galaxy S21 are among the best options for compact smartphone lovers thanks to their 6,2-inch panels. The Sony Xperia 5 III is also another example thanks to its 6,1-inch display. Asus will soon appear in this segment with the new ASUS ZenFone 8 mini, but according to new leaks, there is another Chinese smartphone with a display that is even smaller than the ones mentioned above. The new compact flagship will be a relevant choice in this niche.
The source of information is Digital Chat Station. In a Weibo post yesterday, he confirmed that the Meizu 18 has competition on the way from another Chinese manufacturer. He did not reveal the name of the smartphone manufacturer, but shared the specifications of the prototype on Twitter, as you can see below.

I thought that this year there is only a small screen Snapdragon 888 mobile phone from Meizu in China, but there is another one after a while. The parameters of the engineering machine currently being polished:
5.9" 2400*1080p AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate.- Digital Chat Station (@chat_station) April 16, 2021
The unknown smartphone has a 5,9-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. In terms of resolution, it will fall behind the Meizu 18, as the Meizu smartphone offers QHD+ resolution, despite its small size. However, the mystery smartphone will still offer a high refresh rate of 120Hz. There's no mention of the screen design, so we can't say whether it will be punch-hole, flat or curved. Of course, the size of the display matters, but it's not everything in compact smartphones. Old smartphones had small display diagonals, but were as large as modern smartphones with 6-inch displays. The size also depends on the frame and other aspects.
The phone will be a flagship as it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. It will also come with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 internal storage. No one has confirmed the number of cameras in this smartphone, but the main sensor is a 64-megapixel module. We expect at least two cameras and up to four cameras in the best case scenario. The phone is powered by a 4000mAh battery and features 65W fast charging. It will likely come with Android 11 out of the box.
Features easily make this compact flagship relevant in the market. Of course, we still need to consider the price. Not only that, but the brand name will certainly be a determining factor for consumers. We suggest you digest this mysterious compact phone with a healthy dose of skepticism. After all, even the company behind it cannot be confirmed at this time.
