I hated the trend 10-15 years ago when cell phones were getting smaller and smaller. It got to where I could could barely make out the screen let alone use the buttons.
To me and my middle aged eyes, the best thing about smart phones is that they have been getting bigger every year. My current phone is an HTC One M(8). I will consider trading it in when they come out with a model that is thinner, lighter and has a bigger screen. I will never trade it in for anything with a smaller screen.
All good points. Would, however, be at least equally well-handled by a Glass or equivalent.
The issue with mobile devices has always been input/output. The larger the device the easier input/output is. But the less mobile it is.
Somebody who finds a way to make input/output easier while also being more portable is going to make a LOT of money.
Speaking of less portable. Ran into a friend last week whose new phone has a 6.5” screen. That’s .5” smaller than my wife’s tablet.
Looks very strange indeed talking into it. But maybe in two years the guy with the little 4” or 5” phone will be the one who looks silly.
