I always love to carry small sized powerful smartphones. So that I’m using iPhone SE 2020 which comes with thick bezel 😞. I will love 5.5” narrow bezel curved screen 😍.

    Actually 5.2 inch display is the perfect size to me. Waiting the 6 inch screen with Zero bezel but the top durable material should use as a premise to ensure the phone is strong enough and dare to drop.

      Quote from last year's poll that found lots of interest in sub-5" but ~5.2 the overall winner:

      "
      Going through the comments, there were a lot of vocal supporters for 4.5" to 5" phones, ones like the iPhone 6s and Xperia Z5 Compact. But an even smaller segment is enjoying something of a rebirth with Apple's launch of the 4" iPhone SE. Can we see votes swing away from 5.4"-5.7" segment and towards the sub-5" one if we run this poll a few months from now?
      "

      And yet... discarded it entirely? Where is the logic in that?

        sr777, 22 May 2017The poll is about what is the best screen size you like, no... moreExactly. How are manufacturers supposed to know there's an interest in small, powerful devices unless people are given the choice to express that interest?

                Anonymous, 21 May 2017Some people equate screen size with the phone size. You can... moreThe width of the phone will be too much at that size. It's hard to hold and reach the opposite side and top of the phone when it's larger than 5.1. Even 5.1 is a struggle but you can tilt the phone a bit to reach it. Someone with giant hands may not have any issue.

                            Chose 5.2 because it was the closest thing to that option.

                                  I think 4.7" is a good all around size utilitarian size, 4" is ok too. I also think there is more than screen getting cheaper as a reason OEMs are using larger displays. Its also cheaper for them to build bigger phones, then they can market them as premium. For now, I will stick with apple, they haven't totally abandoned the small phone lovers

                                    My current 5.9" is the ideal size for me as it fits in my pockets very easily and feels easy to type with. Not as comfortable as external keyboards, but somewhat okay when I have to type something. Had a 6.0" and it was very nice too. :) Next phone I'm going for bigger than 6.0", definitely. Or whatever device is good in this size range for me to buy in about 2 years from now.
