Weekly poll: what is the ideal screen size for a smartphone?

15 January 2023
And how important is the screen size when you are considering a new phone?

Sort by:

I used to have iPhone 13 and moved to Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra. Difference between them is 0.7' and yeah Mi11 is bigger, but it Has curved corners and actually it seems simmilar size as Ip13 and fits pretty good in hand. For me iPhone 13 mini which i was considering before buying regular 13 was a bit to small. I think Perfect size is arround 6.0 - 6.3' with curved body, as in Huawei P30 for example. Size of it is Perfect and screen isn't small

But they seem to keep forgetting that iPhone is a premium $600+ device which runs on iOS. While I'm sure there'll be loads of more buyers if there'll be phones priced at about $350 range and run on Android

      Bigmeme, 15 Jan 20236.5 would be the maximum anything more than that will be un... moreAnything less than 6,7 will be uncomfortable.
      Most non asian and non female humans have hands big enough to easy pres 2-3 buttons at the same time when typing.
      This wont happen on bigger screens but typing on a screen of size of Iphone 4-SE2022 is disgusting, Curved screens are disgusting too it reduces real size of the screen by ugly slippery and fragile curve which is first think where screen cracks even on a drop from a very small height.

        My phone is under 6" and I'm still doing everything with one hand except if I need something in the top left corner. If it was any bigger I'd have to learn how to use two hands.

          Hamza.khetran, 15 Jan 2023Give one big phone to me ☺️Samsung had a 7" smartphone back in the days, and with bezels and home button. Don't think the sales were impressive though.

            I used to have 7 inch tablets as phones in the past. But no one's making 7 inch tablets with cellular anymore.

              newflesh, 15 Jan 2023Below 6" is the 2nd most popular answer, then why the ... morePhone manufacturers are ignorant and they manufacture the same phone in 20 different variants to make it seem like there is choice when there really isn’t and it‘s just to save costs by sharing parts.

                Love the size and weight of Sony Xperia 1 IV(6.5 x 2.8 x 0.32 inches | 6.53 oz).

                  Bigmeme, 15 Jan 2023Lol what phones have bezels now a days apart from iphones? Samsung it comes with something much more horrible and worse than bezel.
                  A curved screen which is slippery easy to breaks and as bad as possible.

                    Ideally 6.8" and under 200g, 5000mAh, wireless charging (don't care about charging speed, phone has to perform for one whole day)

                          I nominate Zenfone 9 as the best reasonably sized Android phone of 2022 and expect more like it to be released in 2023

                              Below 6" is the 2nd most popular answer, then why the hell there's a *single* goddamn smartphone (Zenfone 9) currently available under that size? Am I missing something here

                                    7.5" is ideal for me.

                                    It's still small enough to carry, and you can view more content.

                                      potato4k, 15 Jan 2023This is dumb. Screen size doesn't mean anything. What... moreIdeal screen means for me to curves on display, no notches, no UD camera and fingerprint reader and screen for typig big enough to not press 2-3 letters at the same time.
                                      So size between 7-8 should be ideal.
                                      My pockets are big enough to store even larger phone inside.

                                        the poll should including what aspect ratio of screen people want on their smartphone, not just the diagonal length size of the screen....
