Just finished watching MKBHD’s video “Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them” yt indivio

I’m wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

    I was in the market for the Zenphone 10. I was literally about to pull the trigger on it when the S24 came out with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. I was curious about the included hardware specifically for AI, and I was thinking about the future a bit and that apps will probably be able to use it later on if anything. Also the case situation is dismal on Asus phones.

    The base S24 is “smaller” than most phones I see nowadays so I was swayed. I can still one hand the thing, but its at the VERY EDGE of being handleable.

    I don’t regret my decision at all, still went from a big phone to something smaller. I won’t go bigger again unless its for a folding phone.

    The bigger screens are nice for content, to a certain point. Otherwise the smaller phones win for me in nearly every other scenario.
