Why did iPhone 4S stick with the 3.5-inch screen?
hangon: run into an interesting read today
Why did iPhone 4S stick with the 3.5-inch screen?
Touching the upper right corner of the screen on the Galaxy S II using one hand, with its 4.27-inch screen, while you’re walking down the street looking at Google Maps, is extremely difficult and frustrating. I pulled out my iPhone 4 to do a quick test, and it turns out that when you hold the iPhone in your left hand and articulate your thumb, you can reach almost exactly to the other side of the screen. This means it’s easy to touch any area of the screen while holding the phone in one hand, with your thumb. It is almost impossible to do this on the Galaxy S II.
P1n3apqlExpr3ss: Here's somewhat the reason for the larger screens, it is plausible for the future but still doesn't explain the trend from 3.7" to 4.3" in just two years

dafman: I want a new phone ... I'd buy one in a heartbeat ... if it wasn't for Android handset makers obsession with increasing the screen size with each new model! At 4.65" the upcoming Google Nexus is hardly going to be pocketable. I imagine there must be a lot of people like me who want dual core with a high-res Super AMOLED screen, but with a screen size at around 4" max! I am living with a LG P500. Was going to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S2, but in the end the phone is just too big to live in my jean pockets on weekends!! Grrrr.....
