Best compact phones to buy in 2018

Once domineering the market, the phones that we now consider "compact" are slowly but steadily getting replaced by >5.5" handsets that don't fit the bill of just anyone that easily. Apart from the occasional smaller-sized phone announced once in a blue moon, the majority of devices being released nowadays are larger than life and definitely don't cater to folks with smaller hands or just those who prefer more pocketable devices.
But what should we consider to pass as a "compact" phone? As this is quite open to interpretation, we've tried to limit ourselves to devices that are generally shorter than 150mm but aren't too wide either, making it easy to use and handle the device.
Yet, don't think that such phones are going the way of the dodo - albeit scarce, they exist, and we've actually rounded up the best ones you can buy in 2018. As we usually do, we've separated these in three essential categories that will help you find the best compact device for your budget, no matter if it's two hundred bucks or way, way more.
