Just finished watching MKBHD's video "Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them" yt indivio

I'm wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

Because the Zenfone 10 doesn't work well on US carriers. I bought the dang phone because of MKBHD loving the 9 and glowing on the 10.

It was a great experience besides losing cell reception when I entered any buildings or not having the bandwidth to take a work Teams meeting.

Got a pixel just to try it and it's been alright besides battery life
