sorted byIt's pick your poison when it comes to smaller compact phones.
The S22 is a lovely phone and great cameras, update commitment but the battery life ☹️. And it's an exynos CPU and not Gen 8 SD.
The 6a has a 60hz screen... Which isn't a deal breaker for many, but even mid tier phones offer 120hz screens and it's going to be tough going back to 60hz once you've experienced 90\120hz.
This has a has the best SD copy at the moment and good battery life. But not the best cameras and lousy commitment to updates. Depending on your rate of upgrading phones, that may not be too much of an concern.
So security shouldn't be an issue for the next 4 years
EDIT: I CAN'T FIND A SOURCE CONFIRMING THAT IT WILL HAVE 4 YEARS OF SECURIT UPDATES (edited)
You would have to be brave to spend £700 and only receive two years of support.

The XZ2C I have is two years out of date on updates and never made the slightest bit of difference to my overall quality of life or ability to sleep. Everything gets replaced eventually.
In the market for a decent small phone. (edited)

Not the most attractive phone, but has a great battery, average cameras, poor video and only two years of confirmed updates.
Its smaller compared to the cheaper 6a and about the same size as the S22

The 9 model is a tiny bit shorter but you get the idea
Some of the reviewers on YouTube have called out the back of the phone can get quite dirty pretty quickly
I went for the 16GB/256GB black one for £699 - first and last time I pre-order a phone. Let's just hope this phone is as good as user reviews state it is... my Pixel 6 needs to be retired.
Don't agree with their view, but that is it.
The main negative for me is that its been 4 years since I paid more than £500 for a phone, but I want to upgrade from my Huawei P30 and I really don't want to pay more than £500 for another phone that won't have headphone jack and be much bigger than my current phone.
I mean how incapable must they be to understand competition is tough and they are not a top tier phone brand. A shame really as this phone is pretty good.
the phone is nice overall except price and cameras. at this price camera should have been better.
and at the current camera situation, price should be in 500-600 range. (edited)
