For me screen size boils down to the phone's dimensions. I love a phone that I can use with one hand and I rarely ever watch something on my phone. 6.1'' screen size and below is perfect for me.

      Very important question as Android has almost no options around the 6 inch size.

        Bigger is better. Otherwise what would be the future of the folds? lol
        As for me, I got too big for me - 6.8", but I prefer more screen for media anyway.
        People, there is always choice to use smart move to downsize screen for better control, so you can access all corners and have that big screen. Tho I'm yet to need this.

          justSomeGuy, 16 Jan 2023Width matters more than the "screen size", which ... morePerfect width for one hand use is 65 mm. But height is very important too. Perfect height for one hand use is 130 mm.

            This poll is odd so far. Its 6.4 - 6.9 for anyone I have met so far (outside few 'compact' phone fans).

            And its different for everyone. People with small hands would find 6.5 too much. For me anything below 6.3 means I am mixing keys up while typing.

                Screen size vs phone size...and sometimes people want good specs in small phone but dont have many options eg Sony 5 IV, iPhone, Asus.

                  Its not just the height of the phone I think but also the proper width too that matters. Missing the wider aspect ratio screens of the yesteryears. Samsung had a great lineup in this matter like the Mega 2, 5.8, the massive Mega 6.3 and a few of the J series.

                      this pool is RIGGED COPMPLETELY as everyone know crap iphone has 6.1'' so million iphone users delusional came here to vote

                        6.4~6.8 will be pretty acceptable for me, actually I think the type of the display(oled,120hz,ltpo,2k,10bit...) effects more,

                            I used to have 7.2'' and was BEST
                            Now I have little downgraded to 6.8''

                              potato4k, 15 Jan 2023This is dumb. Screen size doesn't mean anything. What... moreBy screen size, the analogy is of course the physical dimensions as we're long over the "bezels" era. If you're still stuck in the 2015-18 perspective regarding a smartphone, then the only dumb person here is you.

                                IMHO, 5.6" is a perfect size. My Galaxy A52s is in the 6+ inches territory and it feels huge in hand, not to mention zero one-handed usability when laying.

                                    I have big hands and small phone is a big no-no for me.
                                    6.7 inches is kinda perfect for myself.
