What screen size is best in a high end device?

**badbrad17** · 10-27-2012, 07:21 PM

There has been much debate about Androids lack of a top tier device in a smaller 4inch device.

There are some factors that could change the final size ie: bezel size etc. but lets use the bezel of current phones as a general guide.

What size would be perfect for you if the phone had the best specs available?

1. Less than 4in
2. 4-4.3in
3. 4.5-4.8
4. 4.8-5
5. 5-5.5
6. Larger than 5.5

For me I would pick number 3.......

RAZR MAXXimum

Definitely 2 for me. I'm currently using an Optimus V and the 3.2 inch screen is a bit too small for me. I was thinking about getting a Galaxy Nexus, but then I tried a demo model at Radioshack and the screen was way too big for me to be comfortable or practical.

2 without a doubt!

1(4.0") is perfect for one handed use but I'm using an HTC Inspire 4G so I'm used to a 2(4.3"). I wouldn't go any larger.

Every time I think I can't deal with a bigger screen I'm wrong. I said that with the original EVO, and I said that with the One X. So I'd say the One X is the biggest I'd be comfortable with, but then I'd end up being wrong when I hold a phone with a 5" screen. :-P

**jpr196** · 10-28-2012, 05:15 PM

2 or 3 for me. I think the Droid X hit the perfect size a few years ago. I was playing around with the new Razrs the other day and I would think they are as large as I could go with a phone. I just wish the manufacturers would make high-end versions in the smaller sizes so we at least had an option.

I only have the SGS2 so I haven't gone to the dark side yet. But this size does seem like it could be a perfect size for the masses.

This is what I was waiting to hear. Would you buy a high end 4in device?

If they made a top of the line 4 inch device, I definitely would. But it would have to have a removable battery and expandable memory...

2 very important things in a smartphone.

I really don't see why any phone maker would omit that

I would disagree with the removable as long as they put in a robust battery. As there is always a hard reset option

Because most non-techie users don't care about either of those, as long as the storage is big enough to prevent the phone acting up, and the battery has a decent life.

Edited because I forgot to answer the question. I'd go with 3, as I really like the size of my GNex @ 4.65"
