• Why can’t we have both? I want a bigger phone. Bigger than what I have now, and many people would consider this to be a fairly large phone.

    But I don’t want to stop people who want smaller phones from having those, too.

      Yep, got big hands myself and own an S21+, and the keys on the keyboard are still too fucking small. Sick of correcting nytypos after 10 years, so finally not giving a fuck.

      Ironically, i typed this entire comment without a typo, gotta love how that works.

      Edit: oh wit, found onr. Guess y’all just gotta deal with ut.

        If you’re not using Swype or whatever it’s called on gboard give it a shot. I have dumb fingers and I can text in my work gloves.

        They’re saying the smartphone market is too homogenous and there should be more options so that people actually have a choice in the device they buy.

        Yeah, but most cries (including this article) aren’t “We want both” but “We want small instead”. The article goes out of its way to ridicule “huge” phones.

        The battle cry seems to be demanding it their way instead of variety.

      Right? Everybody has different size hands, my hands are on the larger side and these bigger phones of today are actually pretty comfortable to me

        I am a very average-sized woman with average-sized hands, and big phones would have been unusable for me. Seems like they’re all for big men’s palms.

        I have fairly small hands, but still prefer a larger phone. More content on the screen and space for battery.

        HOWEVER, I’d take both. A small phone would be a good secondary device. I want something modern the size of my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i). The back also has a really nice texture.
        Oh, yeah, it also has a headphone jack, MicroSD card slot and quickly swappable battery which I should probably replace because it seems it has slightly increased its capacity… volumetric capacity.

        But I also prefer a bit more thickness so it doesn’t feel like a fragile, slippery sheet of glass (rugged phones are good for that).
