That is a report of what its reviewers had found, not proof that it is—or was—the smallest radio on the market. Ocean Digital currently lists the portable WR-18 at 130 × 29 × 80 mm, but the available comparisons do not establish a definitive current smallest model.
What the “smallest” claim actually means
Radio & Telly’s review describes the ViewQuest WiFi 200 as “the smallest Internet radio we’ve found.” The words “we’ve found” matter: they limit the claim to the reviewers’ search at the time. The page does not establish a comprehensive, size-ranked survey of internet radios, and its publication date is not stated in the retrieved source. Read the Radio & Telly WiFi 200 review.
The review reported that the WiFi 200 weighed just over 5.5 ounces, offered more than 12,000 stations and could play for up to 15 hours on one charge. A related Radio & Telly overview lists a 36 mm speaker. These are historical published product claims, not current independent measurements; the sources do not establish that the WiFi 200 remains available to buy. See the Radio & Telly internet-radio overview.
How small are current examples?
Ocean Digital lists the WR-18 as a portable internet radio measuring 130 × 29 × 80 mm. Its manufacturer describes it as supporting Wi-Fi internet radio, FM, Bluetooth playback and Micro SD playback, with a rechargeable battery. The same product page advertises access to more than 30,000 internet stations. Those dimensions and feature and station-count claims come from the manufacturer; they do not prove a market-wide size record or independently verify the number of available stations.

The WR-26F is a larger portable comparison, with manufacturer-listed dimensions of 163 × 44 × 88 mm. Ocean Digital states that it runs for 6–8 hours per charge. These are also manufacturer specifications and claims, rather than independent measurements or runtime testing. View Ocean Digital’s WR-26F specifications.
Portable radios and compact home radios are different comparisons
“Small radio” can mean a battery-powered unit intended to be carried, or a compact tabletop set. Those categories are not interchangeable: a home radio may be physically small for a room but still much larger than a portable device. For example, What Hi-Fi lists Ruark’s R1S at 17.5 × 13 × 13.5 cm and says it supports internet radio, FM and DAB/DAB+. It is a useful compact-home-radio comparison, not evidence of a pocket-radio ranking. See What Hi-Fi’s Ruark Audio R1S review.

A defensible answer needs a defined category and comparable measurements. Before calling any model the smallest, a survey would need to specify whether it includes:

- Radios with built-in speakers, or internet-radio receivers that rely on external audio.
- Only models currently sold in a specified country, rather than discontinued products or listings in other markets.
- One consistent measurement method and dimension order, alongside weight, battery runtime and relevant radio or playback features.
The cited sources do not supply that market-wide survey, so the WR-18 is a current manufacturer-listed example with published dimensions—not a verified record holder. The WiFi 200 remains the model behind the historical wording, but the sources do not establish its present availability.
