    Finally. I've been holding off replacing my phone for two years now. I'm still using a 3+ years old Honor note 10 because of its large flat display. I know other people around me who are doing the same or using Mate 20. While a big phone is not for everyone, I find 6.5" tiny with the current elongated aspect ratios. I don't think that I would buy Vivo though, but hopefully other manufacturers will reintroduce larger displays, and maybe they won't be curved either.

            Bingo! Ever since phones became narrower we've lost a lot of screen area. A 7in phone has a tiny screen compared to an older 6.5 inch 16:9.

            I consume a lot of media and none of it is 20:9 so I'm just getting black bars or cropped pictures on top of an already small screen. It's just all shit.

            My dream is a foldable phone that unfolds to like 8-9 inch 16:9

            Or a 7.5-8 inch bezel less 20:9 phone.

Phones have gotten taller because of social media sites despite video-viewing not changing from 16:9 (with the exception of 21:9).

                That’s one huge display!
                Though if it’s really curved it will just be as massive as other silly sized phones rather that even more ridiculous.

                  Vivo's NEX series...MAY be one of the last bastions of the 3.5mm jack because of the usual integration of the discrete DAC. For that it may still make my shortlist because of Asus's stubborn refusal to put decent camera setups in their ROGP series.

It was either that or no headphone jack, SD card slot and a worse battery life than my old phone for more money. The market is just not representative anymore

                          Vivo is the only BBK to use periscope in 2022.
                          Find X5 Pro will have same setup of X3 Pro (no JN1 instead of imx766 like one plus) ..

                              This phone will surely be below 170mm.
                              And if vivo uses another ratio like 19:9, phone will be even shorter, just wider.

                              S21U with 6,8" 20:9 is 165mm.

                                Finally a proper sized phone, and with hopefully no notch/punch hole being a NEX.
                                Just loose the curved display edges, please, it's the only thing holding it back.

Got to s... moreSame story here, But unfortunately with these super tall aspect ratios the 7" would be more like a 6.5" with 16:9 ratio in terms of surface area! It seems to me all the manufacturers have fixed this together, it will be no huge screen phone or high-end mini tablet(with the exception of iPad mini) anymore in favor of the foldable I guess! Mi max 3 and the great mate 20X were the last of them.

Chinese companies are at the forefront of this.

                                    Not to mention there's more components and features that need to be crammed into a phone then ever before.

                                    Still following along?
