miniaturized
Reduced in scale
Miniaturized means made much smaller than the original or standard version, especially through technological advancement.
The term typically describes devices or components reduced in scale while retaining function: miniaturized electronics, a miniaturized camera.
The space race and computing drove miniaturization, shrinking room-sized machines to pocket-sized ones.
