            I do agree with the screen size. with technologies like Super Amoled and dual core processors gaming, watching videos, browsing internet, typing on touch screens becomes easy. The more bigger it is getting the more less it feels.

                  To me thats the biggest fail on iphone... 5th generation and same size. before iphone everyone though it was a big phone put people carry wallets and stuff that are much bigger in their pockets. Im not tall at all and i have a Gs2 and it fits good in my hand. Also look at the G Nexus the screen is bigger but the size of the phone is almost the same i guess that they will figure out how to make the screen fill almost the whole front of the device. thats what G Nexus is tring to make. Iphone screen looks a small square in the middle of all this useless space.

                                Speaking about diagonal display sizes without mentioning different screen aspect ratios is just causing confusion. Why? An iPhone with 4" has bigger screen area than most of other 4" display. The difference comes from the different aspect ratios.

                                I would prefer less superficial information than that on the commented page.

                                  sounds about right but only if you insist on wanting to hold the entire
                                  apparatus up to your ear despite only needing mic and speaker.
                                  if instead you leave the phone in your pocket or bag and bring just a
                                  headset up on your ear then the phone itself can be larger, you can have both
                                  hands free and you can actually use the touchscreen while in call.

                                      4.3 inch is the perfect size. anything bigger is not a phone.

                                      anything smaller is not a smartphone.
