Yes, they may or may not launch the normal version. Then again, it's only April. One can still hope. ๐

Hopefully they'll continue selling "compact" phones. Heck, I'm guessing there will be people who will be happy if Asus releases a compact phone every alternate year.
Right now, an Asus Zenfone 8. Been using it for a year and a half. Before that, a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact which I used for almost 5 years. ๐
Another phablet sized phone. It'll be a pass for me.
I wish Sony will bring back the XZ1C but with updated internals. Everything else can remain, even the 720p screen.
The fact that there exists a solution to protect against accidental edge touch means that having the digitiser/screen all the way to the edge of the device is a flaw in the design. ๐คฃ
I find for me it is half about the usability of thw phone one handed and the other half being pocketability. I don't want to have to carry a man-purse just to be able to have my phone with me at all times. Front pocket of jeans is where i keep my phone and the pockets are not deep enough to contain the phone without pressing into my hips when i sit. Keeping the phone in the back pocket is just inviting theft.
I just want another Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with updated specifications.
Proper Compact phones. Think Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact or iphone mini size. Screen size of less than 5", none of this phablet sized monstrocity. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 or the Zenfone 8 - 10 exist (I'm typing this on a Zenfone 8), but I personally bo not consider them compact in any way.
Rant over. :p
I switched from a Pebble Time to a Gaemin Vivoactive 4s. I think it's as close to an eink smart watch as it gets.
