I want a bezel-less 5.3 incher. I dont care about the weigt. The heavier the better for me actually. I hate new phones where I cannot feel the weight of the phones in my hanf

    4.7 is great for me too... Hard to make mind for galaxy note... Its tough and not practical to use it in public transport in my country

        I am satisfied with my N9. 3.9". Bigger size will create problems when using with one hand

          for me 5 inch is the right fit, i agree with giba about the pixel density and the aspect ratio

          No comments from see apple / nokia fanboys, Not surprising though

            i believe 4.7 inch is a great size.
            4.3 is a bit small for me and 5.3 galaxy Note way too big for a phone.

                4 inches seem to be the best size. and 4.3 inches is the best. i use my Galaxy S II and no other phone is much more comfortable. Galaxy Note looks so weird and Ace is just too small. 4.3 incher the best

                  I would personally go for 4.5, more or less. Basically for the reasons cited in the post. 4.5, 250+ ppi, that would be enough. I'll most probably get a galaxy nexus soon.

                    I like 3.7 or 4"...even 4" sometimes become pain in a** when using with one hand :)

                        This article is correct: 4-4.5 inches is indeed the ideal size for most users.

                          I used Galaxy Ace (3.5") & Galaxy Note (5.3")
                          I can say 4-4.3" is the best for mobile especially 4.3" if it comes with good dimensions

                            4.5 or 4.7 if the cell has slim profile...

                              4.5" is better

                                I strongly agree that phones screens must not be bigger than 4.5 inches.

                                    Between 3,5 and 4 inch is more than enough, if your eyes are still in good health :)
                                    I fing my 4,3 inch galaxy a bit too large.
