        AnonD-88967, 16 Apr 2013Good. U got a point. But mate see iPhone design speaker at ... moredepends on the where in the back of the phone speaker is placed. My Xperia Neo V has a curved back and the speaker is just near to where it touches the surface so its soundwaves are squeezed and bounce off the surface hence creating a louder noise than what a speaker does on side or front. I have tried this out with many phones and its true, it does actually work very well!!

          Well, sadly no manufacturer will pressumably apply top notch hardware to a phone which they can hardly make money out of.
          Still, hope this petition works!

              This Quest is surely what everyone wants , but it comes down to cost of these mid size super phones ...More tech costs more building costs more testing cost ... But if you just hang on a while this will be the norm.

                  Personally i think that the HTC HD2 had the perfect size/format and you *could* replace the battery, and i would love to see HTC or Sony to come up with some high end stuff in a similar package (talking Xperia Z style here with a decent camera and Xenon flash). BTW why the hell they don't put Xenon flash on high end phones these days? Don't put much hope for Samsung as their design is well... below par

                    a phone -android- that i can control the entire screen with only one thump while it rests on four fingers + high specs + color black = a dream
                    but 4.2" display is too big..
                    3.5" display is best
                    4" display is the max

                      The perfect phone would be the Galaxy S2 I9100 with a quad core processor of the S3 or S4 as the screen will be smaller than the current flagship and battery will also last longer and the sleek design still holds its ground quite capably. Just the screen resolution needs to be increased with brightness. Else, the perfect design.

                          This article is very good I feel that a phone is a device that can be operated with one hand and easy to hold and carry.

                            Anonymous, 16 Apr 2013Galaxy S3 mini would be pretty good for this.Latest chipset... moreThe s3 mini had/has very mid range specs. Basically, they want the same hardware, exact same, with a smaller screen. S3 had a quad core 1.4GHz processor, S3 mni had 1GHz dual core. S3 had a Mali-400MP GPU, S3 Mini had Mali-400. S3 had 16/32/64GB options, S3 mini had 8/16GB. The S4 mini would need to have the same processor as the S4, same GPU, same battery, the only difference should be the size and resolution of the screen.

Isn't that a good idea. ? B/c speaker @ back of phone just chokes the sound. Especially annoying for Calls. If v r in other rooms so it is difficult to hear.

                                I love big phones, but not too big- 4.6-5.0 is enough for me other than that considered as oversized. :)

                                    Someone is finally asking for this! I think 4.2 might still be a bit too big, though. Honestly I think it should be smaller. Maybe 4 inch? 3.5?
