pocket-sized

Small enough carried

Pocket-sized describes something small enough to fit in a pocket: a pocket-sized notebook, a pocket-sized flashlight.

The term often emphasizes convenient portability rather than literal pocket dimensions: a pocket-sized travel guide.

Figuratively, it can suggest something diminutive or compact: a pocket-sized country.
