I think it's more correct to say that non-flagship phones are cheaper. all modern spec small/compact phones in my recent memory have had a comparable price to their non-small counterparts ( e.g. Xperia compacts, Zenfone, whatever that small iPhone was called). the price of a device isn't linearly proportional to its mass.

I haven't owned a small phone in like 10 years, my last one was a Xperia Z3 Compact but I remember it being considerably cheaper than the flagship model, especially considering the hardware was inferior.

yeah, I liked the z3c so much, I must've gone through like 4 copies of them, until a newly purchased one had the screen let go within a month of me opening up the box. I've been chasing for a modern version of that phone ever since, and the razr+ is the closest I've come
