Best Small Android Phones in 2021

The Galaxy S10e comes in vibrant colors and offers a 5.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED FHD+ display that's perfect for one-handed use. The S10e has a flat display and a fingerprint sensor on the left side. Samsung hasn't compromised on the internal hardware, with the phone sporting the same Snapdragon 855 chipset as the S10 and S10+.

Google has done a stellar job retaining the same form factor as the Pixel 2 while introducing a larger 5.5-inch screen. The Pixel 3 doesn't miss out on any features from its larger sibling — it has dual front cameras, and it also retains the stereo speakers. If you're in the market for a small phone with excellent cameras, the Pixel 3 should be your go-to option.

The Nokia 7.1 is one of the best cheaper phones you can buy today. The phone has a vibrant 5.8-inch display that's certified for HDR10, and the Snapdragon 636 ensures you don't see any lag. Then there's the software — the Nokia 7.1 runs Android One, guaranteeing a clean interface and timely security updates. Best of all, it's available officially in the U.S.

The Honor 10 stretches the definition of a small phone as it comes in just shy of 150mm, but its narrow form factor makes it great to use one-handed. The design at the back is evocative, the phone offers excellent value for money, and the 3400mAh battery is more than adequate for all-day usage.

Nokia standardizes so much of its experience across its entire lineup that it makes it easy to recommend its phones at a variety of sizes. The Nokia 6.1 is just a little smaller than the 7.1, and its lower specs drop its price a tad as well, but you're getting the same clean software (with updates!), and capable specs and cameras for the money.
