The disappearance of small smartphones was explained

Gizmochina experts explained why compact smartphones have practically disappeared on the market. The material is available on the media website.

The main reason why electronics manufacturers do not produce small phones called the battery life. According to them, in a smaller gadget, you can also install a smaller battery that will be discharged faster. Also in small devices, processors, RAM and other components fit closer to each other, which increases the heating of the device.

According to journalists, small smartphones began to actively disappear from the market after the appearance of the 5G standard. They noticed that the fifth generation connection requires additional antennas that take up a lot of space. In addition, in the 2020s, applications developers prefer smartphones with a large screen, and separately, they rarely adapt to the compact devices of the program.

In conclusion, they noticed that consumer trends have changed over the past 10 years: “There is a simple reality: most people do not want small phones.” In fact, only folding compact gadgets remained on the market, the design of which allows you to increase the diagonal of their display to the usual one.
