Where are all the people who mock samsung now, for throwing and sticking to the wall.
They have chosen to pay the price ,financialy and with all the mockery..rember the note line,
and who's laughing now. Samsung gave and give their customers every choice, and that costs, let the sponser/ recipient of this story do the same, why should we give millionair mockers the info for free for their next manufacturing line..apple.

    Anonymous, 25 Apr 20165" is the GOLD. easy to handle and large enough5" plus a protective case on the expensive phone is definetly not easy to handle! A phone should be used more as a "phone", because gaming when the fingers cover a large part of the screen to control the game is not really fun, and watching movies on a small, 7" or smaller, is not fun, and editing documents or writing longer e-mails on a "small" screen is not "fun"!
    Small, 10", laptops with great batterylife should/will be the future, while phones go back to beeing "phones" and for listening to music and beeing a mobile modem for the laptop!

        Well it depends on size of hands, as an Asian I prefer under 5 inch. It gets fit into my hand perfectly!

                        for me it's 3.7", that's why my last phone is Desire S, anything larger and I can't use with a single hand. I don't need a large uncomfortable brick to hold!

                                The real question is what's the ideal physical dimensions for a smartphone. Manufacturers need to work harder on slimming the bezels.
                                Anyway, a 5" screen on a device with very slim bezels would be good for me.

                                      Less than 70mm wide for perfect grip.

                                        as long I'm still using smartphone under 5 inch size....there will be no reason for me to change smartphone beyond 5 inch......it feels awkward too.....
