It's hard to deny that the trend for smartphones is for more power and bigger screens, but not all buyers want that in their next phone. Luckily, there are a whole load of high-performance, compact Android phones you can choose from - and we've put five of them together in one handy list.
The OnePlus X really stretches the definition of 'compact' to about its limits, but with 'regular' phones now reaching 6 inches and up, a 5-inch handset seems comparatively diminutive, and it costs just under $200, which is an incredible value.
A large part of that appeal is the spec list, and the overall value makes up for the fact that it's not exactly the newest handset on this list, having first launched about a year ago. For less than $200, you get a 2.3 GHz quad-core Adreno GPU, 3 GB RAM and a slightly paltry 16 GB of storage. You can expand that via microSD cards of up to 128 GB though.
On the rear, you get a 13 MP camera, and an 8 MP front-facing snapper for selfies and video chatting. There's really not a lot more you could ask for at under $200.
