Hiya,
I just showed my girlfriend my new Nexus One, and honestly I expected her to love it as much as I did. Anyway, she found the screen exaggeratedly large, and said it didn't fit in her hand. In short, she would have loved a smaller version of it.
She has a Samsung Corby and its smaller screen seems to be enough for her. That made me think, has there been word about making an Android phone with a much smaller screen, and thus a much smaller size? Truth be told, that would save battery which seems to be the main problem with these phones right now.
Do you think such a phone would sell well? Would there be a market niche for it?
I think 3.7 inch is the perfect size. Going higher would make it too big, but going lower would reduce the viewing area too much for my liking.

Sounds like your girlfriend is used to having small things in her hand?
Seriously though, LG do a small phone and it looks great unfortunately the screen resolution and quality are very poor. It could have been really nice.
Samsung makes retarded looking phones. You can't ever expect anyone who likes Samsung to like a different style. And...the learning curve would be too much for her to handle.
Wouldn't a myTouch 3G fill that need perfectly then? I do believe it is a bit smaller than the N1, and it does have a smaller screen at 3.2.
The hero is a great phone. And it's got a small screen, 3.2 inch I think.
Personally I think anything smaller than 3.7 is too small for a smartphone. The iPhone has a wierd screen size ratio to make it seem bigger, but i often found it was too small still.
I haven't tried anything such as the HD2 so 3.7inch is the largest phone i've used so far.
I think 3.9/4 inches would be an ideal size, but ONLY if the battery was above 2000mAh. With a phone that long, the battery wouldn't even protrude much at all.

Yes, it's resistive. But it's a great upgrade from the Corby.
On the other hand though, what isn't?
What about the samsung behold II?

I've played around quite a bit with the Touch HD2 and I must say I wouldn't buy a phone that big. Sure it's fantastic to have that kind of screen real estate, but as a phone for day to day use, no.

Fair enough... I haven't had a chance to play with anything with a bigger screen than the N1. Interested in trying it out, but I can see your point.
I would gladly rock a 4.3" Android in a heartbeat, cant wait till a few come out, if theres one thing instantly noticible about the Nexus its the massive screen size compared to the G1/MyTouch, I think the HD2 is a great size, just needs a keyboard and android : )

http://mobile.osnews.com/story.php/25750/The_Galaxy_Note_confirms_it_people_want_larger_screens
It jokes about the "optimal" iphone 3.5 incher.
YES. People like Galaxy Note.
Sent from the galaxy far far away.
This is so true. At first i thought "damit is that thing big, i should bring it back to store" but when i put it in my pocket it fits and i can walk run and jump with the note in my pocket. So for me its the best phone ever until now iv'e ever had. I love the scree size, if i compare it to the holy iphone i have to laugh everytime about the size..... Its so cute this little iphone thing. I could give it to childrens who can play with it in a sandbox.
Exactly. Those "tech bloggers" should be making fun of people trying to use their "revolutionary" smartphone's functions on a tiny, heavy and fragile 3.5 incher instead...
I hardly ever played any games on my EVO but thats all I do on my Note!!
It simply kicks ass!! Fun times!!
All the reviewers are Jabronis.....perfect size the note is ....especially if you have big hands like me ....cant stand anything else will never go back.....
On-screen controls in games always felt wrong on those small 3.5" phones.. on the S2 they felt better.. on the note they make sense..
sure smaller is sometimes better.. but when packing all this power into a device biggish is good
5.3" aint that big either, just a tad bigger then my wallet but alot thinner.
i followed some links in that blogg and came onto another planet where i was told the android UI makes us need larger screens cos else we wouldn't see anything if android got higher res.. font-size? bigger icons? felt like easy fixes...
kinda feels like iphonE lovers just digs deeper and deeper into something to hold on to.. to make them feel "i did the right choice, my phone is the best"
sad truth is my sister loves the Note but felt she couldn't buy it cos its to big.. she would feel looked at and laughed at.. so she settled with the S2.
i often tell ppl if they are not into computers, etc when they ask if they should buy an iphone or Note to buy an iphone, the safe no-one will laugh at your choice and no-one will question why. its kinda like putting on pants, no one will ask you why.
sorry for the rant..
Awesome. Hope the note 2 or 3 has a slightly bigger screen. 6 inches would be even more awesome

Apparently a lot of Asian markets like the Note because it's easier to input characters than a keyboard based interface.
Personally, any larger form factor and it would be difficult to fit in my jeans pocket.

Agreed, but only if the kept the same form factor as they have now, but getting the screen bigger by stretching it all the way to the edges, in other words, almost no bezel.
i remember a point when I said 5" is the most any phone should go to. well, now I do believe the limit is 6" since anything bigger than that is a tablet fully at that point.
man i want a 6" phone or a SAMOLED+ HD tablet with telephony
I have to admit - i bought the Note without trying it first. When it arrived, i unboxed it and was terrified...
My first impression ? Oh my god, what have i done...but it took two days of using - and now i don't even notice the size. What's more - i don't really mind the size anymore, it feels normal, and is very useful.
iPhone's 3,5" was nice - 3-4 years ago. After that i moved to 4,3" HD7 and now to 5,3" Note. Bigger IS better here, especially with superior AMOLED screen.

I think, it's not like people want large screen, it's just it fit some people needs (like watching movies, browsing etc)
Yeah there's still more room in my pocket for something bigger.
But not my jean pockets lol. I don't know how you guys can put this phone in your jean pockets. And I want a full usb port or 2 on it. The more things it can do like a netbook, the better.

This is more a rant than an article.
The note does not confirm that "people want larger screens". What it confirms is that some people want larger screens.
The claim that "Android phones go for the larger screen" is also not correct. There are many Android phone manufacturers and many models, of all shapes and sizes. Search using gsmarena finds 185 Android models with sceeen of size 3.2" or smaller.
I've got the largest hands in the whole town so the NOTE feels average to me.
Sometimes I even think, maybe this should be a little larger like 5.5inches. But now I've equipped the NOTE with the TPU case. Its quite protective, has a very grippy sides and it has a KICKSTAND!!!
But with the case on, I have some trouble slipping it into some pockets (jeans mainly).
So after pondering a bit, I think Samsung should make the NOTE with a kickstand, and shave off the bezel from the top and bottom portions.
OR
Make it smaller (from 147 x 83mm; 5.3inch) to 145mm x 79mm (shorter, little less wide, 5.1inch). It needs to shave off some of the bezel, for the premium aspects.
Though my biggest problems is that:
-Back and Menu buttons should be physical (its too damn easy to accidentally press them; frustrating when you accidentally exit an App and have to start from scratch)
-They should position the volume rocker on the right side and make it clickier (like the Nexus S)
-They should position the power button on the top and make it larger and clikier (like the Nexus S)
-Trade the position of Back and Menu button; and hitting the Menu button should bring the contexual menu's on the bottom and the search bar on the top.
If Samsung hired me for a prototype, my device would outsell any competitors!
I'm also for shaving off the Bezels but to have instead a larger screen by keeping the same overall size.

---What are your thoughts on the kickstand?
Should it be on the device, or on the case?
(If its on the case, it means you need to use a case, meaning the overall size is increased and its harder to draw/place into pockets.)
---What are your thoughts on the Navigational Buttons?
On-screen? all physical? all capacitive? or have the Home physical and the rest capacitive?

I think the idea of 6 inches with the same form factor is great all they would then need to do is increase the resolution as the pixel density will not compete with the likes of Sony Arc S or some of the other 4-4.5 HD screens.
If they did both of these and then made even better stylus apps and support. Then I think it would be game over even for some of the tablet market.
One a separate NOTE, does anyone know if the Note2 is confirmed?

I had a kickstand on my HD7. Thought it was nice - at first. Later on...i never even used it. Phone would just fall down, and it was impossible to use it with any cable connected ( earphones ) cause it would - again - fall.
I like the idea of a kickstand, but i think it might be a bit hard to make it stable enough on such a large phone.
Do you think Z2 is too large for you?
Have any troubles?
Nope!!
It is by no means a handset to use with one hand!! But considering that I had a 5inch handset earlier and Z2 is actually more compact than that, I have No issues!!!
Size is really a small issue for me when it packs a plethora of features!! But yes, even though Galaxy S5 is compact than Z2, I wouldn't prefer it coz of poor aesthetics!
I wish it was a 5,5 instead of a 5.2!

I also own the Xperia Ultra so the Z2 is a tiny mobile in comparison. You do realise the futility of your question as what is large to one owner will be small to another? Its totally and utterly subjective.
Compared to my first mobile way back in the 80's this is tiny.

I like the size, the screen could be a bit bigger though. Sold my Note 3 and bought the Z2.
The other thing i dont like about the "size" is all the dead space around the screen. They could've easily have made the screen a bit bigger without making the phone itself notably bigger.

Just like my former S3 the screen is a bit to big for one hand usage. It's hard to pull down the notification menu with one hand, but GMD Gesture Control takes care of that. I have medium/large hands (male),
Using two hands is optimal though, and most of the time something you have to do.

No, it was hard to pull down the notification menu. Otherwise it was fine! the Z2 is a bit trickier though.
The size is just PERFECT, I don't like how Note 3 looks like, it feels gigantic to me. And it's not microscopic like iPhone series. Just great size.
Btw, I can use my hand with one phone. No actually, I can use my phone with one hand. Not as easy as iPhones though, but I still can. :laugh:
As a 6 foot violinist with relatively large hands I find this phone perfect to hold. Lovely and think so I can reach the edges of the screen without too much hassle.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I like the dimensions of the phone and how thin it is. just seems kinda hard to hold. maybe with a more curved back similar to the M8 it would be a little better for me. I can cradle the M8 quite comfortable even for its monstrous size.
It's hard to grip on my hand. Long usage tends to hurt my palm, must be because of their omnibalance design. Not palm friendly at all [emoji17]
I always loved the laminated screens, yes even before apple sold it as innovation, and after seeing some videos it seems like the air gap of the Moto x style is pretty big. How visible is it in daily use if you are used to laminated screens for a long time?
Pretty sure it's laminated. If not, it must be a very small air gap because I don't notice much, if any, difference between how close the pixels are to the surface vs my wife's iPhone 6.
Thanks, that sounds good. I can see a gap though on most YouTube videos where the device is shown from different angles you can clearly see that the black edges of the screen disappear or get bigger depending on the angle. Which means there is a gap. But if it's not really noticeable on regular usage it would be fine for me. Still waiting for my ordered 64gb version in Germany. The delay is bad and makes me think about cancelling and getting an nexus 6p instead...

Hm. I haven't seen that, but maybe it's because I have the black front model. Possibly easier to notice on the white front model.
I have a white model and can't see any gap, regardless of viewing angle. If there is a gap, I can't see it.
It could also be from the rounded glass on the edge.
I had a GS6 before this and the gap is noticeably bigger on the Pure. It's not bad at all and you certainly habituate to it but it was noticeable.

Doubt there is air gap. Hardly any phones have air gap these days. Usually relegated to the lowest end phones with cheapest components. The 'gap' might be due to the moto x ha ing gorilla glass 3 and not 4. GG3 is thicker than 4. They both have same strength, just GG4 is thinner. It has made nice difference almost touching the actual display. My Motorola atrix is a canyon compared to my recent phones in regards to air gap.

The S6 is my first Samsung device which is not a Nexus. I was hoping that they learned from their past mistakes but I found following issues:
- battery life was good at first and now it's just plain bad. In the morning I unplug the device with 100 %. And it loses 20 percent in the way to the office with only a few minutes onscreen time.
- I don't give a ... that the s6 has great benchmarks. In real life this hardware beast stutters and is slower than my old N5. This may be different for games, but I dont play 3d games on smartphones. I think TW is still the culprit here. Basically Samsung is using high end specs and killing them off with their stupid overlay. Even though the UI is getting better, the Samsung add ons to Android seem to bog down the whole experience.
- I hate the fact that I hit the capacitive buttons all the time when holding the device in landscape. That doesn't happen with onscreen buttons since my hands can rest on the bezel.
- the fingerprint scanner is slow as hell. It's a joke compared to my iPhone 6.
These are the reasons I really look forward to get the Moto x. For me they tick all the right boxes.

Could also be the case. But the result is the same for the users eye. It looks like a gap, I can clearly see the black edges changing their size depending on the angle you look at the device. But as most say it's not a huge thing I hope I'll be OK with it.
I was one of the people really hating the ipad air because of the gap. Back then my colleagues said it doesn't matter. But one year later Apple introduced the laminated screen. And everybody was freaking out.

Mostly that you keep claiming there is an air gap when you haven't even seen the phone in person. I have the phone in my hand and I don't think there is one, thought the glass might be a tiny bit thicker than the Galaxy S6. By the way, I looked at my friend's white iPhone 6 Plus and the black border around the edge of the display also changes size when viewing it from different angles, so I don't think that indicates that the screen isn't laminated.

The thread is a question. So I'm not claiming anything just stating what I can see on HD videos. And one guy with a s6 confirmed my impression. So it might be the screen glass, it might be an air gap. It doesnt matter, if the result is the same visually.
I was just curious to know and some people seem to notice it, others don't. Well my Moto X is already under way and I will see it myself soon.
Honestly the more I see about the Nexus 6p the more I like it. I'll get a nexus 6p as work phone and the style is my private phone. Eager to see which one will wind up becoming my main phone.
Lol. How contorted does your head or phone need to be for you to see this "air gap"? I've had a long list of phones and have never noticed what is being described in this thread. I must have issues.

This kind of reactions remind me of the discussions I had when the first devices with pentile amoled screens arrived back then (nexus one). It looked like crap, but one of the inventors tried to convince everybody on xda that the human eye can't see the pentile matrix on a hvga resolution.
The point is: it's great if you don't see it. Be happy.

No, that's not what it's about. With an air gap the image on the screen doesn't look like it's printed on the screen (which is more pleasant to the eye). And when you interact with the screen, a small or nonexistent air gap will have a better UX because it feels more immediate to touch an image which is as near to the screen/digitizer surface as possible.
The best example is the first ipad air. It felt totally awkward because the gap was huge. Much bigger than the previous ipads. Apple didn't make a big deal out of the laminated screen with no reason.
is there a way to crop the screen edges so that i can see games and everything with flat edges instead?
any type of android screen cropper tool/app will be appreciated if they exist.

I completely understand your frustration, I bought tipping point when I was bored just to see what it was like and it's a good little quiz game.
However the bottom and top part of the game is cropped off.
So yep, I know what you mean, I think perhaps changing aspect ratio may help.... Or maybe changing resolution.
Could complain to 1+
Or even ask the developer to accommodate your screen, we can't be alone with this as waterfall screens are quite common..

Good luck finding a high end device today without a waterfall edge screen.

I remember phones that lets you ply game and force phones down to 1080p 16:9 but they all removed that option like taking a step back in technology.
Is it that hard for them to add an option in display below the full screen to have 16:9?
The only app i found that can do such a thing is screen shift in the ply store. Needs root but i will try it.
Lets you choose resolution per app as well
I'm with you guys on preferring a flat screen but I have to admit, one benefit of a curved screen is edge gestures are way more comfortable/satisfying compared to swiping on a flat screen!

I remember phones that lets you ply game and force phones down to 1080p 16:9 but they all removed that option like taking a step back in technology.
Is it that hard for them to add an option in display below the full screen to have 16:9?

Click to expand...

No not at all, some Devs will give this option. Most video players do..
Just a case of asking for it, you may even be able to edit a config file for what it outputs
