User surveys show that around 6.5" is the most popular
Umm, maybe that’s because it’s the most common display size?
🤦
I had an iPhone 5 back in the day and it was so comfortable to hold and use one handed. I miss when phones were that size.
The claim that 6-inch screens are not ideal for content is cope. People happily used sub-6-inch phones for years, and phones like the Zenfone 10 proved you can pack a capable camera, solid battery, and flagship Snapdragon in a compact frame. Manufacturers stopped making small phones not because it’s technically impossible but because bigger phones sell for more and margins are thinner on compact flagships. If Sony can keep a compact line alive despite minimal market support, the other brands could too if they actually wanted to.
As someone that used iPhones, their abandonment of the mini was the last straw.
I had an iPhone 5 for a few years, it was the perfect size for me. When Apple enlarged their smartphones with iPhone 6 I jumped back to Android because I had more options there. I went back to iPhone 11 Pro because it was again on the smaller side. After years of rejecting >=6’’ phones I finally gave in with Pixel 8 and Pixel 10…
Just bought a used xiaomi 13, i had enough of my tablet sized nothing phone…
A useful size for me starts at 6.7"
