Typing this from my pixel 5. The best sized phone ever. I think imo the use case for big ass 15 feet phones is a little overkill. Most people are just buying it because it’s “premium”.
Steve Jobs called the first release of the iPhone with its 3.5" screen, “the perfect size for human hands”.
Say what you want about Steve’s other claims, he was probably fairly right on that one. Humans have opposable thumbs and the average range of said thumbs when touching something cradled in the palm without external movement is about 3-4 inches.
And yet I’m typing this on a “moderate” sized Samsung A71, and to tap something on the top of the screen I need to use my other hand or shift the phone downwards in my grasp to do so.
Nexus 5 was a good size for me, this 4a is too big to be comfortable. If rather have the bezels back, too. Much easier to use without 100% screen coverage.
Yeah I wish my 5a was a little smaller, it’d be perfect. Still been a great phone so far. But my screen is scratched to hell because I forgot to put a protector on it.
I recently busted out my Pixel 5 (currently using Pixel 7) to try out Lineage OS and absolutely love how it feels in my hands. It’s light and easy to reach all of the screen with one hand. Man I miss that phone.
Personally, the Pixel 5 was the perfect size and weight for a phone.
No bulky cameras. No thick chassis. No glass adding pointless weight. Very usable as a one handed device. Symmetrical bezels.

This is funny to watch after Apple killed the mini iPhone and replaced it with another plus sized iPhone

My son has the 4a and it’s a great phone. Same size as the Pixel 5 too.

I’m still using mine.
I still have mine on my desk but it has a screen issue so it’s unusable. I still pick it up just to feel it. It’s just so good in the hand.
Pixel 5 is great, but 4a was perfect

Yeah, its super annoying that you can’t grab phones without touching the screen
Puts the virtual keyboard uncomfortably low, as well. I didn’t mind the buttons having a dedicated space.

The s23 is basically the same size as the pixel 5.

S23 will cut your palm with its sharp edges though
I just don’t get on with Samsung devices. The software bloat ruins their great hardware for me. That’s an amazing looking phone though.
5 years ago, I would’ve agreed, but it’s pretty good today
My perfect phone would be a galaxys s5 with modern camere processer and compatibility with graphene os
