All the new smartphones, especially with android, is coming out with 4.3'' screen. Why so big?? 4'' is pretty big, but if the phone is slim enough, you can sleep it in your jeans. But for 4.3'' it's way too big.
I don't understand why companies like HTC and motorola is trying to make huge ass phones. If anything they should trying to get Super AMOLED or retina display (and gyroscope). And the thing is people are buying it!!! Where do they put their phone??

ummmm... idk what type of pants you wear (probably super-SKINNY Jeans) but for most people, a 4.3 in screen is very easy to slip into ones pants. Once again, I don't know how small your hands are, but a 4.3 in screen really isn't that big... I would say 4.7 in is more like it, why would you possibly want a multimedia device with a tiny 4 in screen?? You can barely watch a movie on it. Maybe you should just stick to an iphone
i have a hd2 but i dont have any problem with the size, i even have a capdase case around it that makes it larger but i still dont notice its there. and i have a job that involves a lot of walking (waiter)
My Galaxy S, with its 4" screen, is actually pretty much the same dimensions as an HD2 with a 4.3" screen - there's just not much else on the front of the device. That said, I wouldn't want to go much above 4.3", or it would become uncomfortable even to hold in one hand, let alone put in your pocket.
It might be best not to ask unrelated questions in random threads, Sonic10101010, as people won't find them. If the card is microSDHC, is the reader compatible with microSDHC cards? That sounds like the most likely problem to me.

Just plug it in with your phone's USB cable and choose file transfer mode!
On topic now,it's more a thing of personal preference.For people like you who aren't the type who will get a huge screen phone there are phones with smaller screens like the Legend and the Hero,or even smaller like the x10 mini.Compared to 4,3'' the Desire's 3,7'' also looks small,but it's big enough.I have a Desire myself and using it after I had a Hero(which has 3,2") I thought it's screen was huge,which I kinda like because I watch a lot of movies on my phone,but then I found myself in an electronics store and put it next to a Leo.It did seem too tiny...
Why the hell not? I'd personally like a 5" screen. If you want a tiny screen stick to a low end basic phone. Loving all the new high end 4.3 stuff.

i also think a 4.3 inch just way too big for a phone...
it wouldnt even fit nicely in my palm...
my current phone has a 3.8inch screen and i find it just acceptable.
i have a hero and with me being a truck driver i use it the same as siriusxm but using pandora and with unlim. data, well you figure it out but the screen is just right for me
Eh I put my phone in my bag and car. Never really felt that a phone can be too big as long as I can hold it in my hand.
My HD2 fits in my pocket perfectly, way better then my older smaller thick phones. The new 4.3inch LCDs are so thin they fit into your pocket perfectly. Plus once you use a real 4.3 inch cap. LCD you will never want anythign else. Also I'm 6'4 and 240 pounds with very big hands. If your a big hands guy your loving these new 4.3 inch LCD's. Were all build different to with very different sized hands and pockets so its gonna be everyones own preference.

I want to buy a high end android phone but the problem is that the maximum screen size that is comfortable for my hands is 3.7". I have extensively used the galaxy S and it doesnt feel comfortable to use with a single hand, this is the big problem I want to be able to comfortably use my phone with a single hand and with any 4" or bigger phone I just cant. Yes I have small hands.
Now onto the galaxy S2, I love it so much but dear god the size...
Now that I search it seems the motorola atrix is the only dual core phone with a somewhat manageable size with it's super thin bezel however I just dont like the phone. I want a premium camera and display plus powerful hardware as I dont frequently change phones.
The SE Xperia Neo seems to be the best small phone, if only it had a more powerful chipset. Atleast SE gives it's small phone all the features unlike others so props for that.
Now whatever the hell is HTC and samsung doing?? Have they not seen how much the iphone still sells with it's "small" screen? Isnt it obvious that there is a pretty big market who dont want a mini tablet in their pockets?
Where is a 3.7" version of the galaxy S2 or sensation? Where is samsung's actual answer to iphone 4S? I am sure they can make a smaller version of the S2 but they just dont think it's necessary which in my opinion is a big mistake.
If this trend of giving small phones the short end of the stick continues then sadly I'll have to switch to iOS or WP7.

Actually one of the biggest complaints from Iphone users is the screen size. Right now, bigger is better, and consumers what big phones.

Still it's breaking records and I personally also was disappointed as I was expecting a 3.7" widescreen which can easily fit into an iphone without increasing it's dimensions in any way. I wasnt expecting a monstrous screen but I thought they would finally move to a better aspect ratio and get rid of that thick bezel.
Yes I know the S2 is also breaking records which shows that there is a big market for both big and medium screens.
The thing is we need to have 2 versions of iphone, one big and one small and everyone will be happy. Same should be the case with the galaxy S2.
But apple is known for not giving enough choice, android on the other hand is all about choice but sadly not in this case it seems.
I'm actually looking forward to the day when a 5" screen is the norm. It would be a nice hybrid replacement for a smartphone and a tablet.
I used to think my Evo 4g was big when I first got it. I was upgrading from a 4 year old Cingular flip phone. But I quickly got used to it, and I've still got more pocket space for a bigger device
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
Because the most wanted feature in a smartphone is touch screen. And since most of the populace has medium to big hands making a small sized touchscreen is uncomfortable and illogical. Hence why smartphones are now becoming bigger.

Pocket space is never an issue, it's single handed usage which is just very uncomfortable with the bigger phones.

Now I dont have abnormally small hands by any means, I just value comfortable single handed usage more than some other people. I can manage with a galaxy S but it's just that I dont find the extra 0.x" to be worth the added discomfort in single handed usage.
And 3.7" is by no means small to the point of being uncomfortable for people with really big hands, plus I am not saying they should not make big phones. Just give the choice of both.
It is uncomfortable not in the sense with grip, but the fact that that have big fingers, hence they have less precision and more prone to mistakes. Plus I own a sgs 2, and I have medium hands or small hands and I have never found it uncomfortable. But that is simply a subjective opinion.

Not all of us do. One of the reasons i still have my N1 is because i like the small screen. I would consider a 4" screen, but any bigger than that is too big for me. As the OP said, where is the choice right now?
So, 4" Display is enough.If more too big.
I prefer 3.7"
great news! - there's no sacrifice necessary, you can have the best phone and 3.7" size! - It's called a T-mobile G2
Hi guys,
As you can guess, I'm not fan with latest smartphones like Galaxy SII and SIII, HTC Sensation, and so on.
I consider them simply too big to be used as phones. I could never do or answer a call with these ones.
I think of them like "monster" phones.
Why, Is there no new android phone (high quality level) with dimensions lower than 4.0 inches?
I think this is a thing Iphone is better than other phones (at the moment).
Do you really like "bigger and bigger" smartphones?
Regards
UnclePetros
Have you even bothered researching your own claims, of course there are new 4" fones on the market!

I like bigger ones, to a point, too big gets uncomfortable to use, the sensation might be the biggest I can use (I have small hands) smaller screens are harder to see for me. my eyes are going. soon time for glasses.
i like S3 and One X but i think bigger phone like Note is great for the big screen but to unusefull for the too big dimention
I like very much but i think the Galaxy's SIII size is the limit to be cool.
Big phones are good to a point. The galaxy note is too large.
I do not see what the big problem is?
Why do people moan about size? It's perfectly fine size.
Smart phone that is. You just get used to them. Big deal. move on.
well that all depends on your use and really preference. I got the Note a month ago and dont regret it at all. Honestly when i pick up a captivate with 4 inch screen i have trouble using it. If i was to just want a smartphone for regular smartphone stuff instead of a tablet phone, then i would have to go under 5", but i like the option of screen real estate just in case. Its really just comes down to preference.
uhm...,
obviously I don't refer to Galaxy Note, its not a true smartphone at all.
It has been created for other purpose, and in this case I could agree with dimensions.
Anyway in my honest opinion:
1. For me it's a pain to stay more than 5 minutes in call with a SGII near my ear. Too big for one hand.
2. It is not so smart to use more than one finger to reach all the corners of the display.
3. It is not so handy
4. It is not so comfortable in pocket.
Have you even bothered researching your own claims, of course there are new 4" fones on the market!

Yes, the only new smartphone the suite my needs is the Experia Sola, but it is not the top in the hardware.
I haven't found other smartphones with 3.7''-4'' display size and top hardware.
There is the HTC ONE S, that HTC says is "a compact size", but it is 4.3'' display!
Please, could you show me what smartphones you refer to?

Font size is indipendent from display size.
What is different is only the area to contain the stuff.
As example, I find the SGII default look&feel size too big and unaesthetic.

yeah,bigger is better. the resolution is everything for todays mobiles phones
I think better is not really good after is break, 4.0 inch it is the maximum fro me
It depends on the user's hand, head and pocket size. Lol!
e.g. The Incredible Hulk will need at least a 7-inch tablet as a Smartphone.
Tinker Bell can use the iPhone as a big screen HDTV.

i use to feel the same way. i remember the first time i bought my first smart phone it was an iphone. i remember walking into to the store and then walking out saying no way, no way it's just too big. and that was going from a small nextel push to talk phone. to the iphone 3g it was just way bigger it was like a monster compaired to my nextel. so it took me awhile too go back to store (about a month later) i eventually got the iphone 3g. and i remember thinking the whole time as i drove back home... this thing is too big i know i'm not going to like but i gave it a try. the first few days were hard i'm mean the size and the battery life was not what i was accustomed to. but i eventually git used to the size and the bad battery life.
my last iphone was a iphone 4. and my current phone now is a GS2 and now when ever i pick up an iphone it's just way too small i can't go back no way. i am now thining of the getting the note. at this point i have lerned to adapt the newer bigger phones and find myself never looking back to the old 3.5-4.0 days.
guess this guys video explains how i feel now.

Like someone saldo it allí depends on the need. I heard somebody that those huge pones were made for People with big hands Like basketball and football de playero. I also heard that información japan all Phone were miniture and u can do anything with it.
i dont really like that Trend of bigger and bigger Phones, i mean, 4" is the biggest i would buy, first i had a Nokia N95 its was cool and for that time THE High End Device but it was really thick and i think the screen too small for Internet(2,6"), so i got a Nokia C6-00, bad performance but relativly good screen (3,2") in fact the Displaycable broke and i needed Replacement , now i changed to Sony Xperia P (4") and it fits perfect!
Two Friends of mine owned HTc One X and Galaxy SIII and i had both in my Hand but they are definitly too big by slightly low resolution change...
bigger or just nice
there are many phones just release and releasing soon in the android market.having alot of my time researching for specs of this upcoming phones,i can say that 4.2-4.8 inch display phones will become the norms in the near future.its about individual preference.i still stick to my nexus one.hehe.but have eyes on the s2(not s3 as for me the design is odd)..
I think there is a balance between too big and just right. Having said that, it is a moving scale, because everybody has different needs and uses for the device.
i don't like mini-laptop size any phones........
Anyone can comment on going from a much bigger screen phone like the note 2's 5.5 inch, to the much smaller 4.5 inch of the lumia 1020? This was honestly my biggest complaint about the lumia 1020. I cant really see myself using a screen smaller than 4,7 inches. I tried out the lumia 1020 at the store and when i put my finger on it to change settings or view a recent photo, it just consumed the whole screen. Its hard to judge screen size at the store (my ipad feels way bigger at home then the ones on display). I dunno if i'll get used to it or not. I've owned much smaller phones, like the 3.3 inch samsung wave, but going bigger is easier than going smaller i would imagine.

I have a Droid DNA that I use (that's a 5 inch screen), and I have no issues going back and forth between that and my 1020. Then again, I was never a huge fan of the bigger sized screens anyway. The screens on the Galaxy Note are way too big in my opinion. Even the DNA can get a little weird at times (thankfully its not my primary device).
I think the 4.5 inch area works the best for me. So I'm happy with it. It feels like a great middle ground between a sleeker and more compact phone but still having a larger screen.

I am still afraid of downsizing by a whole inch. It's hard to judge the impact until you actually start using the phone personally. The S4 at 5" feels small. The Lumia at 4.5" the viewfinder when taking pictures looked really small. And just tapping it with my big thumbs...

I have both the phones and i can tell you it is very difficult to move from 5.5 inch to 4.5 inch and windows phone OS as much as i love the hardware and the camera. I really love the 5.5 inch screen and longer battery life on Note 2
it's windows phone....
I am not one for digging up obscure rumors from the corners of the internet, but NokiaPowerUser claims their sources say at least two or three versions of the Nokia phabet are being tested, one having the regular 8.7MP camera, and another having the 41MP camera. Previous leaks of the Lumia 1020 had pictures of both the plastic shell and a large metal body. We know which one it turned out to be in the end, but the large metal one is still intriguing as the hole in the back is quite a bit smaller than the plastic one, meaning the phone itself is bigger, and could be the phablet with 41MP sensor. Does anyone know how credible NokiaPowerUser and their sources are?
I am still waiting off on buying the Lumia 1020. The price is just too expensive, and I've been to the AT&T store 4 times already to try it out. Each time I pick it up the small screen and thick bezels really annoy me to no end. The black one looks even more archaic, since it adds to the black surround and makes the screen look even SMALLER. It also always looks like part of the screen on the bottom is cut off, because the bezel on the bottom is just so gigantic and that the screen should've extended further down. The squat aspect ratio doesn't work for a long phone. It's some weird design decision by Nokia I don't understand.
The cam pro app also annoys me. The top bar with all the settings listed just blocks everything on an already small view finder. Nokia could have shoved it to the very top edge, flattened it, and removed the "bar" 3D look blocking everything and just had the numbers overlaying over the screen. The previous image on the top left is also unintuitive. The phone shutter is on the right side, and the control dial is on the right side. It would stand to reason the right hand is for touching and tapping and pushing and the left hand to hold the phone. But having that image preview on the top left means you either have to stretch your right thumb across the screen to the top left, or loosen your left thumb to tap it and lose the bottom support it provides.
A phablet with the 41MP sensor isn't that ideal for me either, but I'll take it a million times over the Lumia 1020. I like the 5" and 5.2" sizes more. The Note 2 is already a bit unwieldy in many instances. I am quite smitten with the 5.2" screen that LG just showed off in the LG G2. It looks like the perfect combo for screensize/portability and the screen quality and viewing angles look more amazing than anything out there right now, including any and all AMOLEDs and the HTC One's screen.

I don't have the 1020, but I went from the Note 2 to the 920 and I missed the bigger screen. Now I'm back to a giant in the LG Optimus G Pro
I am really excited about the Pureview tech but I'm also holding offf until either the price comes down or I get sick of Android.
BTW if anybody wants to know what is TOO big in a phone, try the Galaxy Mega. I picked one of those up and tried to use it for a day. While I enjoyed sitting on the coach with it, putting it in a pocket was just ridiculous. It literally hurt to sit down with it in there if you know what I mean?
I think 5.5 inches is the magic number for me to still keep it "portable". I realize there are those that never put their phone in their pocket anyway, so different strokes for different folks. For me either I have 1 device that still fits in my pants pocket, or as much as I hate to admit it, maybe 2 devices is the answer; a great smaller phone and a tablet. In that case, a 41 megapixel Nokia tablet sounds pretty good

I went from note 2 to the 1020. Im not really suffering because of screen size. But i am hurting from the O.S. Its the little things that i miss, easy toggles, swype, a decent dialer, ad block, can' t connect to my school wifi, custom message ring tones, smart alarm, note 2 battery life, and a working barcode scanner for fitness-pal app. Oh and i'm damned tired of my phone telling me what i can and can't use data for. I've hit quite a few restrictions on the phone just because i wasn't connected to wifi. Kinda silly.. yeah throw me a warning by all means but don't just take the choice out of my hands.
So that rant aside, the camera on this phone is stellar. Nothing like it on any other phone. It's really hard to tell just how much a camera can make on impact on you without trying it out for yourself. Its Night and Day compared to other smartphone cameras. And the UI + social + cloud integration is just perfect. Metro is ridiculously sexy and smooth. haven't run into one hiccup yet. Not going to go into further detail here but the camera and physical/software quality is almost enough to keep me from jumping to the next big thing these holidays.

I had Note 2 and it was too big for a phone. I then moved to iPhone 5 and sport a Lumia 920. 920 has perfect screen size. iPhone's 4" display is not bad too, even though it is not even HD.
Oh yes, opinions are subjective. I can say Lumia 920 is still the best phone considering the price, performance and camera, but many will disagree.
I am using a Lumia 920, very good phone, I will get the 1020 as soon as it comes out in Singapore. 8.7 and 41 mega pixel are very far apart... I will still keep my 920.

I'm not sure if this post is made in satire or not. I'm gonna go with satire, since EVERYTHING rumored about the next iPhones say they'll have a 4.7" and 5.5" screen. What that video fails to address is the fact that most people have two hands. And that even on my Galaxy Light (with a 4" screen, same as the iPhone 5), I prefer to use it two-handed rather than one-handed.
Steve Jobs is dead. He had his vision, and right or wrong, there's no denying his influence. But public opinion doesn't seem to agree with his vision, and that's why Androids with bigass screens are popular, and iPhones are getting Android sized. Small phones are great. Big phones are great. Let the customer decide, not some dead over-romanticized douchebag.
I don't think bigger is better,but 4.0 inch is too small for me.
And what is the sales point of upcoming iPhone?
Health care? Deeper integration to the OS X(Yosemite)? lol.

I'm ok with the new Apple iPhone 6 to come out but my opinion is yes bigger is nice maybe even better but is it really what you want holding up to your face if you are not a headphone or blue tooth kind of person ? Also isn't bigger why we have Tablets / Epads for ? I think the new size of the iPhone 6 is as big as anyone should want to hold to their head but like OP (Planterz) says let the people choose what they want.
Just my 2 cents..
ios/iPhone ewwww. so ugly :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I have a Nexus 5 right now and it honestly feels small. My next device will have to be 6". I always wanted to give the iPhone a go someday, but man if they keep making dem tiny phones with crappy battery life that day will never come I suppose.
I think it will still be 4-inch, I still use an iPod Touch 4 with a 3.5 inch screen as my main portable device. A larger screen would make it even more expensive and harder to support by developers since they'll need to support many screen sizes.

yeah, apple said it's common sense. there is no way they can go against their own word.
I didn't see the video but it doesn't make sense to make the display bigger.
with the rumors goin around and the fact that they have increased their screen size before.....i think they will do it again.....

There's LOTS of evidence to show that 4.7" is a definite reality, but NONE to show that the (imaginary) 5.5" will come to pass.
Let me re-iterate that for those who are not so good at piecing together a general likelihood of something being a reality, due to there being NO LEAKS of ANYTHING 5.5", no part image no nothing...
There IS NOT going to be a 5.5" iPhone 6, not this year at least. Come back here and quote me when the 6 is released, and your hindsight will give you the 50/50 vision you will need to see how blindingly obvious that was, had you snapped out of your idealistic daydreams, and woken up to how to do a little (basic) detective work and generally use some common sense.
My old s3 already feels too tiny. And that's 4.8"....
I am never going below 5.7" again. I love the screen on the S5 but it's too bloody tiny. Reminds me of the old gameboys you needed a magnifying lens to use properly...

I'm perfectly comfortable holding 5.7" to my ear whilst calling, cheers. (and I'm a woman, so there goes the 'hands too small' argument.)
(5.7" and a bit, the otterbox commuter isnt the tiniest of cases)

I found that it is hard to use iPhone 6 with one hand. Especially when typing, I can't reach the left side to tap on a character easily when I use iPhone 6 with my right hand.
Do you think iPhone 6 is too large for one hand operating?
It's quite a large one. You are right. I think for small hands it is quite difficult and not very useful. But I never do one hand operating.
Yes it's a little too big
The screen isn't too large, but the phone certainly is. iBezels.
I as a woman with small hands can use my Note 3 with one hand, so watching blokes complain about not being able to do so is hilarious.
There's nothing wrong with a 5.5+" screen size. Those humongous iBezels, on the other hand....

Frankly I don't understand the in-betweener size 'phones' at all, it's too small to be a tablet too big to be a phone, why?
A phone is supposed to be easily held in your had, it should be able to fit in your pocket
I think the screen is a tad too big, but one hand works fine with reachability. i like big screen for movies
It's really not too bad, I think. I don't have experience with the iphone, but with the Note 2. I was hesitant to get it at first, almost bought the S3 over it. I'm glad I got the Note 2 over it in the end. I have no issues fitting it in any of my pockets (mostly wear regular jeans). Any bigger than 5.5 inches would probably be too big though.
Maybe it is too much bigger. Still dissapointing that the next big thing from apple is just like that,
