The latest phones are rediculously big. Why have a phone thats 5.7'+. Its a burdern to carry and they burn too much battery life.

2016 why arent you using the 4'* master races phone?

I am, and I've always found it just a bit too small for browsing. Even typing out more than a couple words is uncomfortable to then read back. Next phone will be ~5".
>>
Really the only reason I am not using one is because smaller phones usually have worse specs as they usually aren't flagships, save for the iPhone SE but >iPhone

The increased battery size available to a bigger phone far outweighs the little bit more battery used by the larger screen.
>>
I can't use the keyboard on smaller phones, I end up pressing two/three keys and I fucking hate predictive text.

I'm not fat or chubby btw.
>>
Note 3 user here, they are unusable witch one hand and the battery life sucks, 5" is the perfect size. The size of the display and the specs are worth it though

My Note 4 is pretty much as good as it can get. Slightly bigger (e.g. 5,8 or 6") wouldn't be terrible, but right now I can use it with one hand without having to stretch at all, even when supporting with my pinky on the other side of the USB charger. Bigger would mean I'd have to hold it in a strange way to reach the furthest top corner with my thumb.

It's also snug in my pocket when wearing something tight-ish which is comfy.

Maybe you should just stop being tiny.

Actually they last longer thanks to physically larger batteries.

So far I've been using an iPhone 5 and I was completely alright with it. Then I bought my mom her first smartphone, some 120 EUR Huawei chinkshit, but it had a 5" screen (it's fucking amazing what you can buy for just 120 EUR these days btw) and I have to say I liked that a lot. So next phone I'm gonna way probably is gonna be a lot bigger. And honestly, I believe there really is no middle ground. You have to use it with two hands anyway, so you might just as well go with >5.5". Let's see what the iPhone 7 is like, but I kind of gave up on Apple, so I guess next phone will be an Android.
>>
>>54659057
My laptop is way bigger than my phone, but the battery dies so much faster.

Checkmate, atheists.
>>
>>54659352
Are you saying you can't use an iPhone 5 one-handed? I don't see why there's a problem with the middle ground if not, because Xperia Compact/iPhone SE
>>
>>54659382
No I'm saying that I really prefer the much larger screen estate of the bigger iPhone and I believe there's little reason to go with for example the iPhone 6's 4.7" as one-handed use is shit on those anyway. So if you have to use two hands, you might just as well go with some 5.5" phone.
>>
>>54659436
But eventually an SE will come out that's significantly better than your 5, it's not like 4.7" is your lower bound

I thought Note's stock keyboard had a one hand function, at least my friend's Note 2 does. SwiftKey does too, I think.

I like bigger screens for reading, browsing, and general function. Rather have just this and my desktop than having a phone, a laptop, a tablet, and desktop.

I'm a grill with small hands and my LG G3 is just fine. It isn't bulky either. My battery life is fine, and I also have removable battery for when stock battery starts to dry out or I don't have time to charge. Had a smaller screen before and I'm never going back. My vision is shit though.
>>
>>54658849
this
in fact this is the real reason why screen sizes have increased
android is a piece of shit in terms of optimization and as such it needs as much battery as possible
>>
>>54659236
cheers bro, I have it too. Great phone. Only a little heavy. Also shame M$ abandoned W8.1, but I'm fine with what we currently have.
>>
>>54658801
Because there aren't any small phones that are:
- dual SIM.
- modular.
- not limited to one OS.
>>
>>54659046
What's your hand span (measured from tip of thumb to tip of pinky when fully extended)
I have a completely average/below-average (male) hand span at 10.3" and the Note 4 is a comfortable one-handed experience.
Women are mostly the ones studied in e.g. piano-related hand span measurements and the really short ones tend to have like 8" hand spans, so I could understand it for women, but a man having a hand span shorter than the average dick seems weird.
>>
>>54658801

4.5" screen is perfection, big enough to be useful, phone doesn't bulge the pocket, it disappears when I'm not using it just as a smartphone should.

I went the opposite way and can't imagine going back. Doesn't help that the Nexus 5 has a terrible screen

I would like a slightly smaller footprint phone but quad HD display is a minimum now.

I am having on my hand a 4inch with 2 micro sims, that statement of yours is invalid.

The best phones are in the 5.5+ range, specially value wise
>2016 why arent you using the 4'* master races phone?
There's literally none aside from a single iPhone and a single Xperia that's shit
>>54658844
There's no 4" chinkphones, the lowest you can go with decent specs is 4.7"
>>
>>54658801
But I am. I own a Z3c compact. It's great except for the camera. Also, Marshmallow fucked up the battery life, but still better than any phone from before.

I hear they're bringing back Stamina in Android N. The Z3 is getting it so I assume the Z3c is as well.

You stupid fucking shits don't even use the too big or too small argument.
The only reason is what's hip these days.

There's no such thing as "normal" jeans, there are jeans that fit you and jeans that don't fit you. If your "normal" jeans are baggy as fuck, so you can have large pockets to barely fit your autist phone in, then I have some bad news for you

Large phones are popular because no one wants to look at text and watch videos on a small screen. I don't know why this is so hard to understand for people. I guess you tech guys aren't as smart as you let on.
