    people spend a third of their lives on those things. And while cumbersome, a big screen simply is better for media consumption

    only way I see smaller phones make a comeback is if we change our habits or if a new technology comes along

      I would rather spend this time on a device with a 15’ screen and a comfortable keyboard. A phone is just that - a secondary device. That needs to be comfortable to hold and type on with one hand while the other holds onto the subway railing.

      A bigger screen is better for text consumption, too. Perhaps especially for that. If you don’t know why, just wait ;D

      Seriously as a person getting on in years I always bump up the font size. And if you do this on a mini phone, you run out of usable space immediately.

      I wish there were small phone options, too, but I can see why big is the default.

      new technology comes along

      I believe the RAZR foldables allow you to do almost anything on the front screen, and in the latest iterations the front screen is larger than Samsung’s.
