The smartphone market is dominated by large screen phones. This is mainly due to market forces as a good number of persons prefer large-screen models to their small display counterpart. However, there are still some persons who would prefer to have a small screen phone that can easily fit into the pocket.

Xiaomi is considering returning to manufacturing small screen smartphones under the Redmi brand. Xiaomi’s Redmi product director, Wang Teng Thomas disclosed this on Weibo recently. He noted that only the iPhone 11 Pro was the notable small screen phone available. He also hinted that the brand is evaluating the demand for small screen phones and of course, no definite decision has been made yet. He further added that if the company was to start producing compact models, a number of features will have to make way due to the compact layout available for internal components.

It is difficult to predict if small screen phones will perform well in sales. But going by the demand for phones with powerful specs that can withstand heavy gaming and video streaming with an immersive viewing experience, such needs may not fit into what a smalls screen phone can provide.
