I'm never getting a phone with touchwiz ever again. both my S II and Note II noticeably slowed down significantly only after 1 year. too much bloat and I especially hate the wake up lag. urgh. my nexus 5 still works like it's brand new.
 
I pray that I never have to go back to a phone that small. I've been spoiled by my note 2 and to be honest I thought phones were too small before that. Hard to see and even harder for texting
 
Let me start off by saying those are some very good questions, I Believe we can blame all three, the consumers, the carriers, and the manufacturers. in 2014 there is a market for smaller phones but because the majority of consumers want bigger phones the minority who want smaller phones get ignored. Secondly we can blame the carriers and manufacturers because they are going to follow what ever trend is the most popular and makes them the most money, yes they could make a variety of smaller phones but would they make any where near as much money as they do on larger ones, the answer is simply no. for example if you take 500k consumers and 10k want smaller phones but the other 490k want bigger phones then there is no profit to be made because suppliers have minimum and maximum order requirements, if a suppliers minimum order requirement is 200k smaller phones, and I contract with a supplier to make 200k of the smaller phones and only 10k buy them then I have actually taken a loss as a company. Simply put the demand has to increase before carriers and phone makers will see them as worth their time and money.
 
surely the flagship phones need to be large.
how else are they going to pack more pixels onto the phone to make use of the superior processing power?

They don't need to be large.

5.2" phone now already get up to 560 pixel per inch. the printing industry print stuff at 300 pixel per inch. so phones are already getting twice higher resolution than printed material. it's rather pointless to add more pixels if the phones don't get bigger, coz naked eyes won't see much difference
 
The same people to blame are the ones that made TV's so freaking huge. Who needs a TV to be over 27 inches.......:p
 
Two different markets and industries.

I don't know if it is the same theory. I mean they both have different reasons for scaling up.

60 inch plasma in my living room.. I want bigger :x.
 
I've been using smaller phones ( i thought the S3 was a tad too big for me) - currently using Moto X. But I'm probably going to try a phablet - probably the Note 4.

I've heard you just get used to a bigger screen and can't go back. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not. But I like to try new phones/manufacturers so i'll give it a shot :)
