I like big phones (and I can not lie)
because i want to play the entire gamecube library on my phone goddamnit
I'm not gonna lie, as a 6'4" guy, I can't stand small phones. I understand that I'm an outlier though, and wish there were more options to cater to more people.
i have a 6a and i think its about the optimal size. not too small, not too big.
by the way, my first post on here... how is this different to reddit?
I believe I saw where you hear that people want small phones, they make them, and then they sell poorly. So, to the company at least, it doesn’t look like people want the smaller devices.
Now, I saw some comments in here about the smaller devices usually being less robust than their normal/pro counterparts, and that could also be a major reason small phones don’t sell.
They make bad small phones that people don't buy because they're bad, then conclude its because people don't buy small phones.
They make phones like the palm palm, the second phone you have to pair to your other phone, for those days when the big phone is too big. Also the battery didn't even last a day. When it doesn't sell they say its because it was small, not the everything else.
I don’t see why we don’t already have an iPod size device. I just need something for music and if a phone call happens to come in - great! It was so simple then.
Bigger screens mean bigger and more obtrusive ads.
I'm convinced this is 90% of the reason right here.
I bought a pixel fold because the screen on the front is small and it opens in a wide format when I need to look at tables
