Small phones cost the same to manufacture, have a smaller battery and less surface area to radiate the processor’s heat.
So all the specs are lower, but you can’t adjust the price accordingly, so they wouldn’t sell.
This is the real answer, but I also wish manufacturers would realize that people who want small phones aren’t watching movies or gaming on them, they are messaging and taking pictures and putting it in their pocket. There are very few small-phone wanters who need a power-hungry CPU. Speaking personally I would also be fine adding 2-3mm of thickness for battery life.
