The most popular smartphone trends in 2024 have been revealed.
2024 marks an important turning point in the compact flagship segment. No longer "cut-down" versions with weaker configurations, compact flagships now possess full power and high-end features, comparable to their larger "seniors".
Compact flagship phones had a good 2024.
The race to "miniaturize" flagships without limiting technology
Apple and Google are two big names pioneering this trend. Both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro are equipped with powerful camera systems comparable to the Pro Max and Pro XL versions, providing a top-notch photography experience in a more compact design.
This change comes from the fact that users increasingly prefer compact phones that are easy to hold and put in their pockets, but still want to own full high-end features.
Despite significant improvements in performance and cameras, battery life remains a weakness of compact flagships. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro still cannot meet the needs of users for all-day use.
Silicon carbon battery: "Savior" for compact flagships
Vivo X200 Pro Mini is proof that silicon carbon batteries can solve the problem of battery life. Silicon carbon batteries have high energy density, allowing for the integration of larger battery capacity in a compact size, opening up a bright future for compact flagships. With a 5,700mAh battery, the X200 Pro Mini provides superior usage time compared to the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro.
Overall, 2024 has seen the rise of the compact flagship. With the development of silicon carbon battery technology, it is hoped that in 2025, users will experience premium phones with the perfect compact size, both powerful and with impressive battery life.
