Even the Moto X, which feels remarkably small next to its competition, is a big phone.
There's clearly a market for great, smaller phones (according to both my friends and to iPhone sales), yet no Android manufacturer has taken advantage. The HTC One mini, the HTC First, and even the Galaxy S4 mini all get the same reaction: "it's the perfect size!" Yet it's constantly clear that no one buys these smaller, cheaper phones, which are typically just lesser versions of their larger counterparts. Yet at least for people I know, it's the smaller phones that everyone wants to try. Samsung pushed things even further with the massively popular Galaxy Note lineup - even 5 inches got small quickly. The popular Android phones, like the Galaxy S III, HTC One X, and Motorola Droid RAZR HD, were now closer to 5 inches. And it kept on growing.īy the time Apple released the 4-inch iPhone 5, Android phones had effectively lapped it in the screen-size department. Samsung’s message was simple: the next big thing is already here. It was the Samsung Galaxy S II, with a bright and colorful 4.3-inch display that dwarfed the newly released iPhone 4S. Poor souls waiting in long Apple Store lines craned their necks to catch a glimpse of a big new phone that no one yet recognized. “Check out this screen, this thing is huge.”
