Good idea. I don't want everyone standing 20 meters behind me to know what I'm doing. Happy N8 owner, btw.

    I will add these: bluetooth 4.0, fm radio, sd card slot, search button, mini hdmi out. That will make the perfect phone with a quad core, 2gb ram, 4-4.5 full hd screen...

        I would personally like a compact phone with a 4.3-4.5 inch screen. A phone like the HTC one s but not as much wasted space on top of the screen and with a really good processor.

          Fruitcake, 16 Apr 2013Since the Samsung Galaxy S2 we have seen no really outstand... moreThere is no reason to pack a very high technical spec into a small screen device. It is just as wastage!
          You can't compare iPhone 5 that has a small screen liked 4"with other 4"devices because iPhone 5 is the only flagship phone from Apple.

              Since the Samsung Galaxy S2 we have seen no really outstanding 4" smartphone on Android,but with the Iphone 4S still the Best one out there,we have seen nothing really to compete with the 4S so Apple will be really happier,so hope now the mobile produces see this debate an start offering more High Class 4" Smartphones,i will like so see what the Galaxy S4 mini will offer us,an I bet its not a 13 mega-pixel camera but a 8 mega one,letting people down again

                    The best display for smartphone is ranging from 4.7" to 5".

                      One more point is missed - BATTERY, what the hell is going on with flags??? Give as these 2000-2200mAh batteries in mid-range and use 3000mAh over in high-end smartphones.

                      So sorry, I won't sign this petition.

                        And with xenon flash!
                        Those mobiles with led flashs are useless in indoor photos and in dark places!
                        The question is: because the market, the mobile producers don´t want to make a high-end compact Android smartphone in mid segment! If they answer to the present request they will loose sales in the high-end android segment.
                        Its true and sad at same time...

                          Xiaomi mi-2, 15 Apr 2013Totally Agree! That's why I ordered the Xiaomi Mi-2. This... moreAgreed, I've bought a Xiaomi Mi2 (which has already been superseded by the Mi2S) but it's the best phone I've ever seen in person, my friends all have Note 2's and I don't understand the desire for such a lack of pocket space..

                                  i agree with this petition @gsmarena , but i think there could be a smarter way of saying it .. like mentioning the dimensions of the phone rather than mentioning the screen size ,, if you ask me ,, the max dimensions for a smartphone these days should 126 mm x 65 mm(or 67) .. anything more than that starts going , such frame can suit a 4.7" screen if bezels are managed smartly! ,, so bezels should be smaller , not screens!

                                    But mid size still sucks a lot, while there is a 1200mAh battery! Dear friends! I vote for smartphone with decent chip and chipset, screen 3,7-4 inch IPS screen, with nice resolution 270ppi+, 8Mp camera (for now), and at least 2700mAh battery!!!!

                                      What is the point of packing a powerful processor in something that will not use it due to the tiny screen? The Nokia 808 is the only adequate camera and it is not even available in high devices. Go buy an iPhone or stop wearing the skinny jeans already peoples.

                                      Let us ask for useful things like real buttons, not capacitive garbage. A real trigger button for that adequate camera. A real home button (thank you Sammy!), real menu and back buttons. Real call and end call buttons. A real freaking keyboard. The iPhone is for consumption, make Android useful again by giving us buttons, not toy touch screen interfaces for babies.

                                        I would love to see a dual core or quad core 4 inch phone, with camera at least like the N8 quality, running android, got a flash light+xenon flash.
