Small premium Android phones - a dying breed?

I suppose this topic has come up here and there within various subreddits and threads in the past but - why is it that small sized premium android phone models are so few and far between?

I'm sure there are more of us who would like to see/buy such models.

For me, I think the most important aspects then are full screen (utilize that small formfactor to the max) and as good battery life as is possible. Camera decent, nothing exotic necessary. What about you?
