Both Sony and Asus make great small phones.
Aren’t they all closer in size to the non-mini iPhones than the minis?
A bit taller but about the same width (3.8mm wider for Xperia 10 V).
Its width is exactly between the regular size iPhone and the mini, but it is both taller and thicker than the larger iPhone. The iPhone mini is already a bit tall for one-handed use so the Xperias really aren’t suitable replacements :/
Sony doesn't make small phones. The Xperia 10 and 5 are 68 mm wide and 155 and 154 mm tall. The zenfone 10 is just as wide but 146.5 mm tall, which is better but still too damn big. The iPhone Mini is 64.2 mm wide and 131.5 mm tall. That's 1.5 cm less than the zenfone and almost 2.5 cm less than the Xperias, while still being almost half a centimeter less wide. Like, see the comparison of the Xperia 10v, the zenfone 10 and the iPhone 13 Mini:
