I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S10e and so far I'm quite pleased with it. It could stand to be smaller, but it does fit in my annoyingly small women's jeans pocket.
I'm writing this on a Sony one. Xperia X Compact. It's true that not enough people bought them. I know only another person who has it. You can count all the iPhone SEs because they are even more compact.
I still want a compact flagship phone.
