Help us make a change, sign our smartphone petition now

Our petition to OEMs for capable, but more compact Android smartphones needs your help.

Sort by:

Hi, by reading the comments people seem to love phablets. Well I respect this opinion. I think however such "phones" should get a separate category so the companies can continue fooling the world with so called flagships which indeed are small sized tablets with hardware that almost every manufacturer can accomodate in such ridiculous sizes. Sony did the right approach (wrong decision by offering only it in Japan) with the xperia SX. This is how a high end phone should be. Have a nice day.

      Your petition does not work . There are enough choices in the market. Most of all love bigger screen because bigger screen is better to use and work. Upto 200g weight is nothing as compare to our weight and size to carry.

        Well I personally like the Note & Note 2, and I don't mind having an even bigger Note 3 or Note 4 as a mini tablet if either of it reaches 6" or more.

              [deleted post]Did you ever heard of usb on the go on S3 & note 2. Google it. With this you can have standard usb on your phone.

                  personally i love the S3/S4 size/thickness and feeling.
                  A 4.2' in way to small for me but i guess some people want it.

                    I guess a top-of-the-line 4.2-incher is too much to ask with all the rage on >4.7-inch phones going. (Sigh)

                      I'm a gnote 2 user but, getting bigger is feeling loathful. I think the perfect size of high end phone is sgs 2 international version. .. just sayin'!

                        Samsung and LG have no intension of making small form factor smartphone right now, I hope Sony or htc will. With sufficient battery life and min of 32g storage. As of now I'm planning to get htc one or xperia zl. I know htc One is longer than sgs4 but b'coz of with fm radio. The only doubt about xperia zl is battery performance.

                          i want a high end phone with qwerty keyboard (no slide), something like galaxy chat but better spec

                            Yeah, sorry GSM arena as much as i like your website and good work, im not in line with this.
                            i think Samsung is doing the right thing 5" screen is the best for the flagship and 5.5"-6" for the best handheld Notepad is the best.
                            BUT NO LARGER or SMALLER!

                                  .if rumors about "sony xperia ray 3" are true or will c0me true..i think thats the greatest ultimate c0mpact pocketable (maybe perfect.?) smartphone of all time..//_^v

                                  -4.0" to 4.3" screen
                                  -adreno 330
                                  -snapdragon 800
                                  -quad core up to 2.3ghz
                                  ---
                                  i hope the battery will be around 2,500mah to 3,500mah..and thickness below 12mm..i would definitely buy that..//_^v

                                  .sorry for my bad english..hehe

                                      Well, i used to have nokia n97mini and for sometime i thought that's the perfect phone size, but by time new and better technology, i bought N9 for better screen resolution but by time i got hands on Samsung galaxy note with big screen 5.3,inch it seem a bit big for my shirt pocket, but the use of phone on internet and watch movies, pics and youtube stuff it's just so good, that i can't go for anything smaller at all.
