    Re: compact phones, check out Walletphone, the phone I designed for ZTE's CSX project last year:

    The idea is pretty simple: a midrange (e.g. SD625) OLED phone ~6mm thick that is exactly the size of a credit card, so it'll fit in anything designed to hold credit cards.

        regarding the question about sub 5inch flagship Android phones.
        I walked into the Apple store today and had a play with the SE and the Iphone 7, coming from an S6 edge, I felt like apple's phones were lighter and easier to use and hold, and it was a joy to stick either of them in my pocket and not take up my whole pocket and poke out the top.

        so im not surprised that Apple lovers are loyal to them, maybe 4 inch and 4.7inch phones are all we need? The SE was great for messaging. I do miss the smaller phones.

          I sent a question regarding plugs and sockets types used in different countries, which has not yet been answered. Has these plugs and sockets been a worry for anyone of you? For me its worrying when I buy electronics online and from abroad. I just wish to have one standard just like the micro-usb chargers we adopted for chargers. Are there any efforts to standardize this?

            Samsung S7 Edge on At&T after receiving update is pulling updated apps from the folders i created for them. Please tell Samsung

              I have questions
              1. Would 18:9 aspect ratio would be good on a phone, do you think smartphone makers will switch to 18:9 aspect ratio, would you think that 18:9 ratio would be better on videos and would you think 18:9 ratio would be the future

              2. I have notice that the most recent android version isnt always popular until samsung released the newest S series, do you think that Samsung is the company that's helping the android os

Firstly, they're not copying anything that isn't just an obvious variation or design choice or component option. Secondly, even if they are copying ideas, who cares? It only benefits the consumer.

                    The way people think, sometimes it makes me wonder about the future of the human race...

You can mod adaptive display on any Android regardless of any low power core residing on your device or not but that'll keep your device awake the whole time and you'll see lower battery life.
