ultracompact

Maximally space-efficient design

Ultracompact means extremely small and dense, compressed to minimal dimensions.

The term appears in astronomy for ultracompact dwarf galaxies and in consumer products for devices engineered to occupy less space than standard models: an ultracompact digital camera, ultracompact fluorescent bulbs.

The prefix ultra- intensifies what compact already suggests.
