The Galaxy S10 release is little over 2 weeks away, but reliable leaks confirm that Samsung are going to up-size both the S10 (from 5.8" to 6.1") and the S10+ (from 6.2" to 6.4").

So this now means that after 20 Feb, there will be no Android flagships under 6", leaving Apple the only handset maker with a sub 6" flagship offering.

There will also be a S10 lite at 5.8" (Samsung's equivalent of the iPhone XR), but this will be a down-spec'ed phone from the S10. As long as the spec compromise is not too great, I will sadly probably opt for the lite as I want the smaller physical size.

Anecdotally, I see more of the smaller S8s and S9s than the plus models, which seems to suggest the smaller phone is preferred. Are we being led into bigger handsets against our wishes or am I a dying breed that wants to keep my phone in a smaller pocketable package?
