Totally agree, High end specs should come with different sizes of screens. At least screen size with a reason able size like 4.2 or 4.3.
Sony i think is giving a little attention to this as there sets have relatively the same performance with screen size different.

        Well my Atrix HD is as compact as it gets and is as good as it gets in the midrange segment, 720p 4.5'' display and a not too big footprint, decent specs and sturdy built. Just adding a Quad A15 and 2GB of ram, twice the internal memory and Maxx battery and this would be a perfect top of the line mid-sized smartphone!

                      I was pretty surprised to see this since every time I read one of your comparisons the phone with the bigger screen is listed in the positive column.

                        This is probably not an omission from Android manufacturers. Producing a bigger size phone was to differentiate with iPhone. I guess until today no manufacturer wants to compete with Apple in the same screen size with their flagship products.
                        For me, I just want a phone as big as possible but enough to fit in my pocket and I'm happy with my Galaxy Note.

                          AnonD-105714, 15 Apr 2013Xperia SP is closest to that. 4.5inch, dual-core 1.7Ghz Sna... moreXiaomi M2A - dual core 1.7 ghz with Ardeno 320 GPU. 4.5 inch screen with HD resolution. Nice 8mp camera (not iPhone 5 level, but pretty solid). And the price is ridiculous - $250.

                              Better battery life also recommended.

                                Isn't Samsung doing that with their s3 mini and s4 mini? if s4 and s4 mini have the exact same specs with just the difference in screen size, Samsung won't be cutting down any cost. They give you the same software hence the same experience (almost) of their flagship.

                                      Why 4.2" and not 4.3"? On GSMArena own phone finder you can't select the screen size of 4.3" only 4.2"?!? or 4.5. There are some Android phones with 4.3" 720p screen, 8MPix camera and quad cores, but in order to find them, you need to set the screen size to 4.5.
                                      Something stinks here!
