I think the current size with the current bezel is the sweet spot.
Just for viewers reference.
Samsung galaxy S3 - 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm (5.38 x 2.78 x 0.34 in)
Nexus 5 ---------------- 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
Moto X ------------------ 129.3 x 65.3 x 10.4 mm (5.09 x 2.57 x 0.41 in)
I think the best aproach would be for Motorola to do what it is rumored Apple is going to do, release two phones that are identical in every hardware spec other than screen size/resolution. Then they can keep the very hand and pocket friendly 4.7" they are using now and offer a 5.7" for those who want something larger.
I would like to see this as well. Motorola's already familiar with this approach with the DROID MINI/DROID ULTRA.
In all honesty, I would have gotten a 4.3" Moto X.

The test for me is
1. Is the phone comfortable in the hand?
2. Is the phone pocket-able?
As long as those criteria are met, I would prefer the screen to be as large as possible. Unfortunately most of the phones from 2013 probably don't meet these criteria, and the flagship phones of 2014 certainly don't.
I went back and forth 3 times with the moto x. Each time that I left, it was because the screen was just to small. 5 would be perfect as long as the phone doesn't get much bigger

5" is the sweetspot for today's market! Everyone is carrying bigger phones now!
Well moto is rumored to launch a phablet phone in Q3. Maybe they'll announce it along with the moto X sequel. I'm all for having two sizes.I think the best aproach would be for Motorola to do what it is rumored Apple is going to do, release two phones that are identical in every hardware spec other than screen size/resolution.
