Then what's the point of having a huge screen? And talking of iPhone, if you have used one in recent times, you should know that you don't need to reach the top to go back. It can be done with just a swipe which is much more modern way then that back button of droids.

                      Well I mean these are still phones.
                      Sometimes I think people and even the companies forget that.

Because their device is lack of bottom back button as in android device. Thus, it hardly can reach top of the screen if using big screen when you want to back from previous page.

                            this is for old people.

                              Dont know if they have included this, but wouldn't it be convenient if the camera is launched when the cover is opened?

I pointed at who this was aimed at and that your comment on 3.5-4" screens being the pocketable size being inaccurate. That is not prejudice. That is me correcting your error.

                                  iPhone 4s(plenty of people still use) is 3.5 and iPhone 5s (which plenty of plenty use) is 4inch screen , some idiots consider 4inch screen phone as old school or whatever d hell .. I m a user of 5.7 inch screen n a 4 inch 5s ... They serve their purpose well , n I love both the phones

                                    In the year 2016,where DIMPLE.IO exists and you can add physical buttons to your phone on literally any size screen and android with NFC this company makes this phone...
                                    Lmao companies these days....
