Anonymous, 17 Jul 2021FHD+ is the sweet spot for phones up to 6,5" displays ... moreIt depends a lot on what kind of user you are. Some people only play games, others just text, other people like me like to root our phones and get the most out of it, while others just use it to talk or check out the weather. Also, it matters a LOT if your hands are small or big.
But like I said, if you have a good eye sight, you will definitely notice the difference between HD and QHD. I know QHD eats more battery, but I don't have a problem with that because I don't really use the phone so much when I get out of the house except for talking or texting. I also avoid using mobile data. That is the biggest battery drainer if you ask me. Oh, the phone is always set to 2G for battery life and change it when I'm using mobile data.

AlienKiss, 15 Jul 2021Same here! What's the point of having a display of 6-7... moreFHD+ is the sweet spot for phones up to 6,5" displays in my eyes. I also think that phones up to 6" are ideal for daily and portable use and best for carrying in your jeans and for one-handed use. Also remember the more pixels the phone has to manage the more it drains the battery. So I'm also no fan of displays with more than 60Hz or Always-on-displays. Yet all these things are luckily able to be switched off manually by the user, also when that's not really economical. So better buy a phone that doesn't even have these options when you don't want to use them either.

My A52 5G would've been perfect if it had a slightly smaller screen. Anyway, I still use it but regular S21 size would've been perfect for me.

Everything will look blurry, detail is completely lost and it simply ruins the whole experience. I mean the display is what we look at 100% of the time when using the smartphone.
When I switch from QHD to HD on my phone, I can instantly notice it. Whomever says you can't notice it is probably in need for a new pair of glasses.
Everyone was bashing Sony a few years ago when it started making waterproof smartphones, then when they jumped to QHD, then 4K resolutions. People still bash Sony for using 4K on their phones, yet almost every brand out there now has waterproofing or QHD.
One thing is certain: HD resolution with low PPI displays are absolutely horrible for any kind of user. Only a half-blind granny won't notice the difference.
I'd rather have an older high-end flagship with at least QHD and 450+ PPI from a well known brand any day, rather than a new mid-range phone with garbage display and plastic frame.

Honestly, this is more due to aspect resolutions changing than anything else.
If you notice, a 6 inch on 16:9 is huge, but the same on 19.5:9 is a manageably-sized phone.
Of course, I would really love a small phone, having owned Redmi 2 Prime for the last 6-7 years before switching. In my thinking, 5.5-5.8 inch on 20:9 is an ideal size for all purposes... Again, my thumb doesn't reach the top most part easily..

Also it's not like average consumer know what do they want themselves, so they'll just buy any product that was shilled hard everywhere and convinced themselves later that this is what they really want.

I am more interested in the Resolution than Screen Size. For serious sake just drop that HD+ resolution already we are not living in 2013 back in the Samsung S4 era for any Android Phones. Give us at least QHD from now on.

Pixel 5

The more obvious problem is that there are literally too few compact and affordable, well equipped flagship phones available on the market.

It's important to note that most of these phones are primarily centered on 6.5" on the graph. That's where the problem lies. I would gladly take a 6" phone, but mainly it's that there are quite a few consumers that want phones that aren't too wide and aren't too tall. Take 2 phones lets call them myPhone and myPhone Pro. The Pro version gets everything and gets a 6.5" screen then the standard version gets a lower mid range SoC worse cameras, a worse screen quality (not size), less memory. Then they price these phones within $100 of each other. It's pretty obvious most people will take the "Pro" version simply because they're getting a better value rather than just "big screen better small screen bad". There have only been 2 phones offering good value for a reasonable price since 2020 with a small screen. Pixel 4a and Zenfone 8. If a company expects me to pay $800+ they better be providing exactly what I want with no compromises.

To those slamming on the 12 mini again (even though it wasn’t even released in H1 2021, but I guess that already shows how Important that phone is), I am perfectly happy with my 4.7 inch iPhone, and when I‘m out, I see many many people who are the same. If they wanted a phone that is sized like those 95% that are 6.5 inch today, they would have bought a plus size model. I still think the main reason why the 12 mini didn’t sell as much as expected is because of the price.

My teenage kids wants smaller 6 inch fones as well as my wife since their hands are smaller which makes 2 hand operation a must. The problem currently is that smaller 6 inch fones come with high end specs and are not really affordable. We need midrange 6 inch.
