        Actually phone dimension matters. 5.5 inch screen size with small bezel would be ideal size for me.

          5.2" with 5:3 aspect ratio or 16:10 will satisfy almost everyone, The manufacturers should shift to them in the future.

                With my average sized hands, any phone size within 4" to 7" will do

                    I think we are missing the point here... what really matters is the size of the phone, and based on my experience the best is between 13.5-14.1 cm. tall and 6.7-7.2 cm. wide (5.31-5.55 and 2.63-2.83 inches), so what ever screen fits in there, which depending on the beezels would be about 4.8-5.2 inches

                      3.5" - 4"

                      ^ Says the late Steve Jobs, children, and every adult with kiddie hands. It is no longer 2010-2013, kids. Time to get with the current times.

                      I didn't think I would like 5.5"-5.7", but I do. Still, it is a little too bulky, tall, and wide. My ideal used to be anywhere from 3.5" to 4.7". Now I think 5" is a tad too small. Depending on dimensions, I would pick 5.3". My LG G5 is the ideal size and the right balance for me. That is why it is still my favorite. Then Pixel and V20.

                        when it's come to handy, 5.2 is perfect enough, and when it's come to gaming and video, 5.5 - 6.0 is good

                              Bigger screen size is getting more acceptable because the bezel are getting smaller. The overall size of the phone remains the same while the screen gets bigger.

                                Too many cry babies here saying big phones are too if for them. You got small hands??? Sometimes bigger is better and I got large hands. I prefer over 6 inch screens

                                    I will change my statement, ideal would be 4.5" to 4.8", max length 130-132 mm. Anything bigger would be a MAX size, then 5.2" - 6" a phablet. My Tablet is 7" For Pete's sake.

                                      Farraj, 14 May 2017What if I don't brefer any of them how can I vote. Anyway... moreHahaha exactly.

                                      I have still Z1 Compact because z3/z5 weren't different enough and then the line died out. Who actually watches movies on their phone anyway? How do they have so much time just sitting around with no other device handy?
                                      I have a 4.3" phone and I don't watch movies on that.
                                      I have an 8" tablet and I don't watch movies on that --either--.
                                      I have a 27" monitor or a 42" TV if I'm gonna watch Bill Maher/Game of Thrones/Iron Man. I simply don't understand this need for super-sized phones, it's insane! I remember the first time I saw someone talking on a Sony-Ericsson X10 and I thought it looked like a dinner plate to their ear. I was a fan of the Xperia Ray except the model colour choices were too disappointing..

                                        Kd10, 14 May 20175.2" to use one handed, as an actual phone. 5.5"-5.7" as a ... moreAgree with stuupid tall and skinny ratio, which GSM arena refer to as WIDER screen ratio of 18.5:9
                                        Ot can be MISLEADING because most of the time we handled our phone on portrait mode, and the phone ridiculously TALL and UGLY.
                                        so, even if it's 5.8 or 6.2" they would still look NARROW.
                                        i like 16:9 screen ratio with small bezel anyday.
                                        Note 7 screen ratio is perfect Imo !
