            Dear Colleagues,

            Please add important screen options to vote, like: flat, rounded, curved screens. Camera holes and notches are also very important.

              I was watching movies and youtube on SE W890i back in 2008 so for me it can be even 2" :D

                  Width matters more than the "screen size", which have become exaggerated because of long aspect ratio.

                  Consider an S22 with a nominal width of 70.6mm and a screen size of 6.1" compared to an S7 with a width of 69.6mm and a screen size of 5.1", and a Note7 with a width of 73.9mm but a screen of "only" 5.7".

                  Around 70mm seems to be perfect width for one-handed use (with curved sides, maybe a tad smaller with sharper corners) in my experience.

                    Anonymous, 16 Jan 2023screen size makes the phone size, so learn to think before ... moreIndeed. Screen size cannot be ignored, regardless of aspect ratio, bezels, width, height etc etc bs

                      Whatever that ideal screen size is, it should be measured by its AREA, not diagonal.

                      Try comparing different aspect ratios by their diagonal and get unexpected results. For the last couple of years, diagonals are going up but screen sizes are actually going down.

                            Volume rocker on right

                                as someone who get used to slim and small phone like Huawei P30, those gigantic Samsung and Realme felt a big rock in the pocket.

Otherwise 6.6 inches is way too big. So I always get the base Galaxy s phone. Which fits fine in my pocket. But a Slightly larger one would also.

                                    6.5 - 6.8 inch is the best, but for me thin and light phones are very important.
