What is your prefered screen size?
In my opinion 3.8 is perfect. I like 3.7 but the problem is that it is not as wide as the 3.5 screens on the garminphone, iphone, huwai ascend, and that's the only thing I don't like about 3.7 screens and the new motorolla cliq too its ridiculously long and thin, I did a side to side comparisom and it is less wider than the 3.7 inch screen on my G2 but a little bit longer. It was a dissappointment the cliq 2 of course why would they make the screen less wide that makes no sense to me anybody else feels like this about 3.7 screens?
The 3.8 on the mytouch 4G is wider than the 3.5 screens we know on the phones I mention and I like that. Btw I think they could've squeezed a 3.8 on the G2 at the size it is, that's one of the things I love about the G2, the size overall is nice.
3.7". I don't really feel like the 3.5" on my iPhone is any wider than the 3.7", but I never measured. I know 3.7" phones themselves are usually the same width as the iPhone.
something between 3.7 minimum to 4.3 max
3.7" is the best size for me (at least from what I tried, it depends on the size of your hand, I don't realy own a touchscreen device currently, tried friends').
The width of the screen is affected by the ratio, there are wide screens, 4:3 screens etc.
Depends on resolution.
4.5" , but 4.3" is minimum , anything else is unmanly and is a toy phone
3.7" is good -- i find much bigger than that ends up being too big for a phone..
4 inches is definitely the minimum; I have tried an iphone but it just isn't the same.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
4-7inch anything under 4inch is unmanly and just a joke

I measured them, the iphone and huwai ascend, screen is 1.94 inch wide, the 3.7 on the G2 is 1.90 wide, also I notice the cliq 2 screen is longer and less wide than the G2 screen being the same size. I prefer wider screen than longer, don't get me wrong I'm good with the 3.7 inch its not that big of a deal
i think the sgs has the right dimensions of a display
I love the 4. 3 maybe bigger.
The EVO you wish you had
4''

I think I would like a 5 inch screen. A little big but, I think it would be good for me.
The EVO you wish you had
I've tried a few, and I think 4 is the best for me. Anything too much bigger starts to get clunky.
Minimum 4. Max 4.5. Depends on the overall design. Extremely thin bezel? Fine, give me 4.5

4.3" in minimum, would love to see some new HTC phones with bigger screen, perhaps in the 5" area.
4" is perfect for me, but i have smallish hands. I'm happy with the 3.7" i currently have though.
What worries me is that all the top end phones are coming out with 4.3" screens now, meaning i'll have no choice but to go bigger in future
Do you guys with bigger screens have any trouble with them fitting in your trouser pockets? Is it comfortable?
I like the 4" screens on the Captivate and stuff, but even a GOOD 3.5" like on the iPhone 4 is a great screen, and likewise, the 4.3" and 4.5" screen are tempting. I do think once you go above 4" it's harder to keep a phone from being a big ugly brick (think Droid X) but I'm looking forward to seeing what Samsung does with the 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus. That promises to be a nice screen - none of the PenTile checker boarding, really thin, Samsung's great at design. Too bad they're so bad at the updates thing...

trust me I doubt most phones would come out 4.3, it seems 3.7-4" its getting to be the rule now most phones launching are withing that range I doubt the new sidekick will be anything bigger than 3.7 lol some sidekick feens are actually I would say dreaming about the sidekick having a 4.3" screen imagine a screen that big flipping how big the phone gonna be lol. And the samsung 4G as we already know is 4". I also think 4 is nice but they have to do it like they did it with the motorolla defy waterproof the phone is incredibly small much smaller than the G2 with a nice 3.7 screen. I think they could've squeezed in a 3.8 in the G2 and could've made it smaller. I mean just look at the garminphone it is ridiculously and unnecesarily huge for a 3.5 screen. Just the front is about 55% screen and 45% buttons.
I just switched to the Nexus S from a G2 (and a MT4G before that) and I've noticed that it seems like you can see the pixels on the NS while you couldn't on the G2/MT4G. Is this normal?
yes its normal for all samsung amoled and super amoled screens, because they share sub pixels using what's called a pentile subpixel layout. lcd screens have the full 3 sub pixels for each main pixel. due to costs and manufacturing reasons, amoled only uses 2 sub pixels and shares colors, so the result is fuzzy text and bigger pixels. but you get better colors from the amoled.
super amoled plus fixes this, and goes back to the traditional full 3 sub pixels. but that is only coming on the galaxy s 2.
my next phone i actually decided i may go with slcd for this reason, and to see the battery difference in lcd. thinking about the desire s...
The Nexus S (and it seems all of the Galaxy S series) is using the Super AMOLED, so the Galaxy S 2 will be better?
I did really like the screen on the G2, but it after coming from at MT4G (and still getting to use one since my wife has one) the G2 was just too slow. I'm hoping T-Mobile releases an 'elite' HTC phone here soon.

Should be getting the HTC Pyramid sometime this year. Think Evo with a 1.2GHz Dualcore Snapdragon. Can't get much more powerful than that
I still don't get why T-Mobile payed to rebrand the myTouch series. The HTC name carries more weight anyway.
The Pyramid sounds very promising. Fingers crossed.
Samsung galaxy S2 users love the HTC sensation so much. they even have a QHD screen mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113865&page=2
untill one user pointed out it doesnt change the resolution but just the density therefore making it worse. lol. who'd have thought. sgs2 tryna get QHD.
so do iphone 4 users
Gave my phone to guy at work (proper apple bummer)
and first thing he said was - wow that screen is gorgeous!
had other with similar things,
I'd love to see a true super amoled plus qhd screen. But Samsung seems to be against it. Even their upcoming 4.5" Hercules is 800x480.
I don't think a qHD super amoled plus screen is possible at this time. When Samsung announced the super amoled plus screen it was stated that the drawback to getting rid of the pentile subpixel layout and moving the a true rgb subpixel was that it required more space. This is why the new displays are all 4.3" or larger with 800 x 480. At least it is a true resolution now, unlike the pentile matrix displays.
after having a hd2 for so long it seems that the sensation screen is a tad bit smaller. Not sure if its the slim body styling but even compared to the Evo it seems a little skinnier in width! what do you guys think?
Felt smaller to me also but who knows..
I don't think it's so much that the screen is smaller, but more so that the phone is smaller. There is a lot less around the screen than what is on the other 4.3" screen phones. This makes the phone seem smaller than what it really is. HTC did a great job in making a larger screen phone seem like a smaller phone.
yes this is my thinking also in that the body is more tapered to the screen verses previous 4.3 models
Yeah it feels slim allright! A lot slimmer than DHD. But I do think the screen is a bit narrower in width but a little taller in length compared to DHD.
I compared my sensation to my friends desire hd and the sensation's screen is much taller and the desire hd's is much wider.
the dimensions of the two screens are a little different. the HD2 WVGA resolution makes it a little wider than the qHD of the Sensation but they both still have a diagonal length of 4.3"
Guys it's all in the aspect ratio. Your DHD was 5:4 your Sensation is 16:9 just like your widescreen TV

Remember not all 4.3" screens are actually 4.3". Some are a touch larger or smaller but "round off" to 4.3". My HD2's screen is the same height as my Sensation but wider. The HD2 was always a large screen. Compared to some other 4.3" screens they are not as tall as the Sensation but wider.
Either way I love the screen and qHD.
Oops... This point was made a couple of posts up. I believe the S4G is at a screen ratio which if different than the other 4.3 screens. Maybe 16:9 which would make it narrower.

Its smaller by an inch or more width wize.. but horizontally, its 4.3 inches. Personally, i would have loved it to be the full size of the evo but because its qhd and has a 16:9 aspect ratio, its sqeezed a lil but its still a 4.3 phone.. its pretty sexy
I'm liking the size just fine. My HD2 seemed just a tad bit fat, but this unit feels perfect enough to touch everything with just one hand (that's what she said).

Thanks for three clarification. I knew I wasn't insane I've used an evo before and I knew the screen seemed bigger.

My HD2 WAS perfect, the screen is a tad smaller in width but like everyone has said the clarity and brightness make up for it
I'm still trying to get used to the feel of the Sensation in my hand. Coming from the monster HD2, this phone feels tiny, but the screen is just taller and slimmer. I'll get used to it.
[Q] Nexus Prime vs iPhone 5: 720p 4.8" 320 dpi Android vs. 720p 4.0" 326 dpi iPhone
I posted the following on The iPhone Blog and was wondering what the consensus was here. I actually prefer Android myself but have plenty of respect for the iPhone and as long as it was jailbroken could live with either happily.
I was playing with a calculator and speculating about the next Nexus phone versus the next iPhone.
If you multiply the iphone pixels by 1.125 you get 720 x 1080 resolution. If you maintain the 326 dpi of iPhone 4 you end up with a 4" screen that will still fit inside the current size iPhone with 1.3 mm bezel on each side and of course, smaller bezel top and bottom.
The rumors from BGR indicate the next Nexus phone be made by Samsung and will have a 720 x 1280 Super Amoled Plus HD branded screen (16/9 aspect ratio). I did a little calculating based on the physical phone size of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Since the Nexus Prime will be a button free design merging the tablet and phone android platforms, the screen can be 4.8" and still have a 4mm bezel on each side.
I personally believe the next iPhone needs to increase the screen size and I know most users don't want to lose retina display resolution so that limits the max size screen to 4" without making the phone larger. My question is will that be enough improvement in screen tech for the iPhone to slow down android's market share growth. When I am out in bars I see lots of iPhones but I also see a ton of over-sized android screens out there. I can't escape the conclusion that the large screen is the single biggest selling point for Android versus iPhone. Personally, I use both an iPhone and Android phone but that big screen on the Nexus Prime is like a siren calling to me. I own a LG G2X with a thin case that is the same width as a Samsung Galaxy S II and it does feel good in the hand. If there was a 4.8" native 720p screen on it, how many people will be attracted like moths to a flame.
Will the superior camera, better app selection, Minimal fragmentation, better stability, IOS 5 features and Apple ecosystem be enough to slow the bleeding of market share to Android, even if the phone is bumped up to 720p hd and a 4" screen. I wonder if maybe Apple has a much better implementation of a 3D glasses free technology that will wow people. Kind of like how face time did video calling much better than anyone else even though it wasn't first.
Nexus-4.0 running ice cream, and with an even better screen tech than Super AMOLED+, where do I sign up.
All rumors about the iPhone5 sound boring. Just the Android notification system we've had for years already. And it might, just maybe get a slightly larger 3.8" screen.
For me to ever consider the iPhone, it needs at least a 4" screen. Widgets. And customization, all done out of the box stock, not jailbreaked.
But the rumors coming out about ice cream get me hot

+1 For using a transformer as a phone name. But in all honestly all signs point to the device being made by LG. Apparently its either that or a tablet....how great would a HTC Nexus 3 and an LG Nexus Tablet be. That would be a tasty christmas for me
That would be a tough decision made tougher by the sweet new Android-like features iOS5 will have. So far, for me, the only drawback to the Nexus Prime is the huge screen. 4.3" is as big as I'm willing to carry around with me. Since both phones are technically superior and jaw-dropping, I'd have to go with the iPhone 5. It provides all the same technical goodness but in a smaller, manageable package.
I have a hard time believing that the next nexus will have that large of a screen. 4.8" is getting into tablet territory. I'd be put off by the size personally, and I'd think that they'd keep it in the 4.0"-4.3" range but who knows?
not too much of a iphone fan ! its gona be just fine.
Nexus prime just sounds too sexy
I WANT IT
I chose Android for the OS and the possibillity to use difrent phones from diffrent manufacturers at the size thatpleases me and NOT be bound to 1 overpriced phone from 1 manufacturer with a smal screen that absolutely binds my freedom.
MartyLK, I hope you realize the physical size of the phone could be exactly the same as the Samsung galaxy SII. The larger screen doesn't have to mean a larger phone. The aspect ratio is longer relative to width and the extra length would take up the space previously dedicated to capacitive buttons.

i would +1 this to infinity if it would be possible. xD
I want to say Nexus, but not if its made by Samsung. I wanted the Nexus S so bad, before that the Nexus one (it was just starting to already get old when I was ready for a new phone, what with the S right around the corner and all)... I just have nothing good to say about Samsung phones, why, i don't know. I think HTC makes the best phones on the planet and I hope they build the next Nexus.
Regardless I won't buy an iPhone. They are incredibly overpriced here.
I dunno why some of you are crying over that large screen. hell, it'll physically be smaller or the same in dimension to most phones right now with 4in screen, even.
I want that Nexus prime
it's gonna be hard for apple to catch up with the iPhone 4s or 5 -- even with doubling iphone 4 specs the nexus prime will be far ahead:

From what I saw on an Apple keynote podcast, I agree. Even though iOS5 will be new, it won't have enough new'ness, or change, to compete with Android or Windows Phone 7. Both of them will leave iOS in the dust.
