Just look at Nokia N9 vs. Jolla. In fact the last Android phone I used was Sony Xperia Mini which had a 2.6"(!) screen and the battery lasted a week between charges, in contrast with my Jolla that lasts about a day
This is true if you discount the requirements of more powerful SoC. usually it means larger chip, increased power consumption (especially under load) and increased thermal output, which means that there are limits how small device you can cram it into. Remember Sony Z3+ and it's overheating problems?
