using the g4 and i love it. It fits in my pocket perfectly, and i have big hands so it's not uncomfortable
5 to 5.2 is cool for me. Want the note 4(extended battery and sd card), but I'm not a big guy and it looks like I'm trying to make up for something, using that big ass phone, lmao.

But really, it doesn't fit well in my pocket and hard to get out when sitting down.

Somewhere around 5 inches seems to be the sweet spot for me. Not necessarily for one handed use, since it's still easier to type with two hands versus one even on a smaller phone and I tend to use two hands whenever I can anyway. It's more because it's just more manageable and comfortable to use. Phablets aren't unmanageable for me, but I think I'm just more comfortable using something closer to 5 inches.

I'm rocking a 6s Plus right now, but I'm strongly considering selling it and getting a 6s for the above reasons. 4.7 inches is probably the smallest screen size I could tolerate though

5.1" screen size is the max I'll go. The original nexus 5 was PERFECT. I had the Samsung s6 that was good too but I won't do anything bigger than that. I have iPhone 6s right now which is good too

I have to be able to operate it 1-handed. I just sold off my Galaxy Note III Neo. It was 5.5 inches & I could operate it 1-handed. Before that I had a Galaxy Note II. It was 5.5 inches & I could NOT operate it 1-handed.

I just bought the T-Mobile version of the LG Stylo. It is 5.7 inches & looks I can operate it 1-handed. I guess it just depends on the physical dimensions of the phablet..


:francis: I've used this phone sparingly for a few days. I can't operate this phone 1-handed comfortably as I could with my Galaxy Note III Neo, especially while laying down. I think I need to move back down to a 5.5-inch phablet. I'm looking at getting a Huawei Ascend G7

just updated to iPhone 6s and I feel it's too big. I appreciate having the larger screen but the fact they included a feature where you can lower the screen for easier thumb access is evidence that the thing is too damn big.

the iPhone 5 was perfect imo.

It was with all the testing that was done, it's been well documented. The 3.5 inch screen was actually the perfect size, but people wanted it to be bigger because we generally like our eyes to have more real estate to travel.

It will inevitably scale back down.

I just heard about rumor this last week


EDIT:

At the 4:02 mark...

The iPad Pro is rumored to be coming on November the 11th, I'll break down what I like and dislike about the Apple TV and yes, iPhone 7 rumors.
