Following a post I wrote yesterday about the Vodafone 845 being the smallest Android device, IntoMobile reader Darius left a comment saying:

The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini is 83 x 50 x 16 mm.  So whilst it might be 3mm thicker than the Vodafone 845, it’s shorter and less wide.

So there you go – another contender for the smallest Android device around, and I think it could just be the winner! Size isn’t everything though (apparently – can’t say I believe it), so perhaps a feature comparison is in order in a future post. Both will not be the most well-specced devices, however, it’s always good to know which small Android is more functional :-)

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

    I don’t quite understand why smartphones are getting bigger and bigger. Back when the original iphone came out, I thought it was huge. All my friends that have this phone can’t put it into their jean pockets so what did they do? They went out and bought shirts with a front chest pocket big enough to fit it LOL. I kept telling them that all they needed now is a pocket protector, some pens, and a pair of glasses and they’re all set.

    And now we have phones with 4.3″ screens…wow. Even clipping that thing on your belt looks funny.

    Gotta thank Sony for not leaving out the people who like small and functional phones.
