        AnonD-133243, 18 Apr 2013Dat big screen! Can't jump to a smaller once tried let's sa... morewe're not talking about a 3.5" inch phone here. A 4.3 screen can easily be fit into something even smaller than the razr i. I dont think its too much to ask for a flagship phone thats pocketable. How do you even get a note into your pocket?

            Dat big screen! Can't jump to a smaller once tried let's say Note2. And of course the bigger a device is, the more you can put inside. When a 3.5'' be quad-core, a 6'' will be dodeca-core. Senseless petition, sorry

                For me, perfect size would be:

                4.3 to 4.5 inch screen with on screen buttons.
                At least 720 HD display.
                5 inches tall, not wider than 2.5 inches.
                Quad core processor like the GS4.
                2gb of Ram like GS3/4
                High quality camera like samsung.

                Okay, maybe Samsung should just make this phone. Like a GS4 mini. But stop using inferior processors and cameras!!!

                Motorola was very close with the Razr M. They just needed HD display. They could release Razr M 2 with HD display, improved camera 2gb of Ram and quad core processor and i would buy.

                  I have a Xiaomi MI-2 and love it so far (could be a slightly slimmer, but otherwise perfect) Supporting the petition anyway :)

                    Signed, there are guys like me that go to the gym or do outdoor stuff that can use a small device that doesn't need a big pocket or bag.

                            Xperia V satisfied this requirement. My only gripe is the 1GB ram but in other factors its good enough, the water and dust resistance just additional plus. The newer chipset and the Adreno 320 in Xperia SP is also another good choice, bigger screen though and same 1GB RAM.

                              totally agree, many people are in no way fans of huge smartphones that prove hassel to the pockets and a plunge to be used single handed.
                              great idea..

                                Somebody should send a link to Wozniak. He likes to bash Apple on iPhone size, but also likes to ignore the fact that Samsung does the same with giant phones.

                                    A hp with dimensions of about 125 x 63 x 8 mm with a 4.3 inch screen would be great. Not forgetting a good ppi pixel density n quad core processor...

                                        Am sure it's possible to fit the HTC ones 4.7" full HD screen into a phone like Xperia V, a great chipset n battery and you will have a winner. throw in the water resistance n I will sell a kidney for one.
