Anyone else hoping the next HTC One phone has a bigger screen?

[Xsie]

I too, think the screen is THE perfect size-for me anyways. Bigger battery would be a great improvement.
HTC One Max? Is this the next flagship phone???

Nope. BoomSound while nicely done simply is a useless feature to me and many others who keep their phones on vibrate most of the time and listen to media with headphones. I doubt other OEMS will scramble to copy this gimmick. I'd much rather have the screen real estate than external speakers.

No keep Boomsound please. One of the major reasons I got this phone

Personally, I'd have to disagree. The one thing I've become the most addicted to on the One is having the front mounted stereo speakers. At this point, I'd hate to go back to any phone w/ only rear speakers.

To each his own, I just don't have much use for it. We all know most of the smartphones coming out for at least the next 6 months and none to my knowledge will have front facing speakers. It seems logical that if consumers were clamoring for this type of gimmick (1) we would have seen it before and (2) other OEMS would be following suit. Time may prove me wrong but I just think most people dont listen to media without headphones on.

No question it's a well executed feature. However, put headphones on and there is no advantage to other devices since Beats is either replicated or exceeded by other apps.

Oh no I meant just for phone (that doesn't use beats) and you can't drive with headphones (or not suppose to).. Could get a ticket .

I love the current size, when i showed my coworker my phone (she is not good with technology) she freaked out and said i had a tiny tv in my pocket (never seen a decent smartphone either i guess)

I use to tell my friends that I wanted an iPhone Nano. Just for basic phone calls, emails, and text messages that I could clip onto my shirt pocket.

 

[flexfield]

I went from a Note II to a HTC One and love the smaller screen.

i couldnt imagine having to go back to a smaller screen after buying my note 2. contrary to popular belief its not to big and fits right in my front pocket when its not in my hand. i would never consider a device under 5 unless the market takes a turn and everything goes back to being under 5.

I'd be happy with something like that. Nice and simple, AT&T could make a special low cost plan for those of us that would be willing to buy it unsubsidized. Of course I have a better chance of winning the PowerBall than AT&T delivering. I can see something like that selling really well. Lots of people use smart phones just for email. It would be perfect for them. Heck, I would seriously consider it.

I'm with some of the others- I don't think front facing speakers are much of a gimmick as much as they are just common sense. It comes in handy for me when showing off a video to someone.

 

[Jaimeg123prmt]

Agreed. That .3" of increased screen size wouldn't have a profound effect on my life.

Besides, when you get a 5" screen, you soon begin pining for a 5 1/2" or 6" screen. Where does it stop?

I don't know, in like an addict.

 

[Jaimeg123prmt]

If you didn't Iike the htc one screen size? Why did you buy one?

Do you have the browser set to full screen mode in the settings?
Also, when android 4.2 is released? hopefully soon?
The menu bar which shrinks a lot of apps will have the
Option to be disabled.

Yes the s4 is a little bit bigger. 0.2 of an inch. However, it not like comparing an iPhone 5 to an s4. As you stated in your original post you wanted the htc one around 5 inches?
Isn't 4.7 around 5 inches?

The screen size wasn't at first glance, but once you start playing with the phone, you notice that is is too narrow, especially having the s4 and the s3. I bought it cuz I was impressed at first, but the s4 just won me over. And I wouldn't say 4.7 is the same 5.0. Yes it is around there, but when the screen is narrower and smaller, it is noticeable.

I really don't care about the Beats or the fact that the speakers are stereo. I do find the FRONT FACING aspect to be a pretty big deal. I do think that other manufactures will eventually try something similar- If not front facing then perhaps front vented.

I want an HTC 7 inch tablet...with a wacom stylus.

 

[roflwaffleton]

I have both, and I can tell the difference. The One is smaller, but longer, which I don't like, and the S4 is bigger and has a better screen ratio.

The One and S4 both have the same screen ratio. They are both 1080p screens, the S4's screen is just a tad larger. The One is longer/taller than most phones because of the two speakers on the front.

This is what I though. I knew the One was longer but I was pretty sure that the screen were both the same aspect ratio.
