Do you want to see the note line of phablets to venture into the 6inch range?

I ask this because I just acquired a note 4 and while I was nervous of the step up in size compared to my htc m8, after 3 days of use I find the screen size no problem at all. I honestly feel internet browsing wanting on small screens sizes and the note 4 is def better but I find myself already thinking about "bigger" , what say you on gigantic phablets?
 
The Note 4, even for my large hands, is at the maximum I'd want for a phablet, honestly. Pretty much any larger and one-handed operation would be impossible.

If it's going to grow above one-handed operation, I'd rather go with a tablet in the 7" or 8" range and carry a smaller phone with tethering capability.
 
I personally would not be interested in a larger phone - the Note 4 is a very nice size. Something in size between it and my Nexus 7 would just be too large for everyday carry-around. And at some point, holding a very large phone to your ear just looks weird.
 
Absolutely.. I love a big screen. I have no need to use one hand and have no trouble carrying my Note 4 around. I really would like to see Samsung add the features of the Note 4 to their Galaxy Mega with it's 6.3 inch screen. But sadly they don't make the Mega any more.
 
I would've said no way when I had my Galaxy S5. But since I've had my Note 4 I love the big screen, and wouldn't be put off if Samsung decide to up it for the Note 5. Having said that I don't think they should go too much bigger. 6" is probably the biggest I would go. If they could squeeze that into a chassis that is only a couple mm bigger then I would be all over it. If the phone has grow again to fit a bigger screen in then I would say that ergonomics are going to suffer too much. The Note 4 does an excellent job of making the phone feel smaller in your hand than it actually is and they need to try not to lose this imo.
 
I think they found the sweet spot w 5.7, if the phone gets much bigger i would be tempted to look elsewhere, and that would suck lol

I would want a bigger screen as long as the phone size doesn't get much bigger. Anything as big as something like the 6+ is hideously large especially with that smaller screen lol.
 
I think the size of the Note 4 is just right. If it gets much bigger you'll look like you are holding HDTV next to your ear.

If Samsung can reduce the bezels, I think they can fit a 6-inch screen without increasing the overall size.
 
I'm not going to say no to the idea because I'm the person who said she'd never buy a note because it's too big. yet I'm sitting here typing from my NOTE 😂😂😂

I'm sure there's an ergonomic formula to fit a unit in your hand comfortably of height, width, length, and weight. I want the maximum screen size that's comfortable with one hand biased towards large handed people, but the note 4 definitely is the max I can stretch my thumb flat. These curved displays will probably make for awesome new formulas though, I'll bet a 6 inches or more could be very usable one handed with the right curve.
 
Honestly I am okay with the size now but .. If they did go up to 6 inch I would still take a look at the Note series. I like bigger phones since I do a lot of media usage on it .. And since my front right pocket is my dedicated phone pocket I don't really have an issue taking it around in my day-to-day routine.
 
I dont. I think the size of the Note 4 is perfect. I have a Lumia 1520 which is a 6 incher and it is massive compared to the Note 4.
 
Although I love the 5.7" display, I wouldn't balk at 5.9" or 6.0". But that's just me. Resolution is the main factor, along with battery usage.
 
I think the next step needs to be a foldable screen that can fold out to double as a small tablet.
 
I wouldn't mind 7" or 7-1/2". The bigger the better for me, as long as it somewhat fits in my pants pocket.
