> Show me the tiny Android flagship from the past 5 years that didn't sell well. (You can't, because there wasn't one.)

Yeah, because in the 5 years before that, the much MUCH more diverse Smartphone industry tried to make it work for several YEARS and failed.

Of all companies, Sony had the longest stamina, releasing 5 generations of 'compact' flagship devices.

If there would have been a sufficiently sized market for that, they would have continued and grown. In reality their business decreased every year.

Today the Smartphone is dominantly a media-consumption device, the only viable answer to "tiny Android flagship" is now a foldable like the Galaxy Flip.
