My mother was using my old Moto G Plus, that died last day. She don't want big phones like my Redmi 4.

I told it is impossible to find anything small like Moto G Plus, something between Moto G plus and Redmi 4 we can look.

Can anyone suggest a small phone if possible good build quality, Android.


1. Budget? 8k Max
2. Display type and size? Smaller display preferred
3. Dual sim? Not needed
4. Preferred choice of brand? Any
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? No preference
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). Android
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 3 G
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? Phone calls
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? Don't want bigger phone (size)

Fill the questionnaire. There is Xperia X Compact but I don't know its price or how much your budget is.

I updated the questionnaire. Xperia X Compact is out of budget. I did some research in Amazon, i don't see any small size phones, look like 5 inch screen is the only way to go.

Get Redmi 4 instead. Moto C has poor hardware, not worthy of moto tag.

Thanks, never know i could buy Redmi 4, was thinking it always a flash sale. I checked the cheap model, Redmi 4A, that is still flash sale.

Redmi 4 is what i have, so may just go for that.

Still, since she wants a smaller phone, make sure you get the redmi 4 and not redmi note 4.
