What went wrong?

Why are phones so absurdly huge nowadays? How to people use or carry these things?

they were small if you ask me

The One Plus 6 looks awsome desu

Women and manlets make up most of the world and they have no hope of using a phone one-handed no matter the size, so they just opt for the biggest.

Spotted the manlet

I'm currently process of surveying this fact. I ask the people with largest hands (my friend basketball player for example) to do anything on my gfs Oneplus 6.

Guess what. Even basketball player with literally twice as long fingers as she has, cannot properly reach top left corner of the screen.

She has to use her phone with two hands even when picking up a call.

This trend is retarded, just like most people. Gratz humanity, you played yourself again.

Anything over 5.5" is too big. 5 - 5.5" master race.

Why doesn't someone make a bezeless phone the size of the iPhone SE?

Don't care if they have notch like the X or top/bottom bezels like the Galaxy

bigger phones are better for reading and watching videos, i'm just tired of having to stick the phone to my face to view something

it's more comfortable

What is the advantage people perceive in these giant phones? Do they buy them because they're all that's commonly available?

I remember for a while, like maybe 10 years ago or more, it seemed that everyone was buying giant 15" and even 17" laptops, but since then they seem to have gotten a lot smaller on average (that's my impression anyway). Seems people realized their laptops were no longer actually portable. Hopefully that happens with phones.

An all-screen SE would be absolutely orgasmic.

My last phone was a oneplus and while it was amazing value the huge screen was a pain to use.

Got a comfy sony compact now and it is so nice to wield my phone properly again. Something stupid that was lost with huge screens was the inability to pull out my phone, unlock it, reply to a text and check my calendar/reminders with one hand while walking.

I don't fear dropping or crushing my phone in my pocket either which is nice, it doesn't get caught within pockets when pulling it out and checking stuff while with people looks less intrusive and more casual so I don't seem like an ass.

>tl;dr having a small phone is more practical, efficient and fits into a working life better

Eat some protein you little man

Indians fuck off. Opo it’s shit

Stop lying faggot. The opo 6 just went for sale earlier today. And no you don’t have a girlfriend

Kill yourself larper piece of shit

>5.5 inches
>giant

Manlet detected

Big phones are better for daily tasks like browsing the web and consuming media, if you don't like it, buy a feature phone that can only make calls and send texts, dumb manlets
normies consume media, so normies flock to devices that are better for media, something that looks about the same size as a tv held from a comfortable arm length is perfect for that task

I guess normies don't listen to music (or podcasts, audiobooks...) because these giant phones are terrible at that, even moreso because they've all dropped the headphone.

most normies want bluetooth headphones

Now only Sony manufacturing small phones for Android

>better for daily tasks like browsing the web and consuming media
>tasks
Those aren't tasks, if you wanted to do only that you 1) have no social or working life and 2) don't need a phone. My psp does that shit and has a screen around the same size as 5.5" phones. Shit is pretty fucking old but it will play videos for longer than a phone.

>if you don't like it blah blah
Non-existent problem, people already spend their money on what they want. Only a retard buys something they don't like.

you're clearly an 8yo grill tits or gtfo

Just admit that you're a little girl and get this.

I love my SE. Its the only decent Iphone because it isn't trying to be an iPad

For all the indistinguishable Android phones, you'd think somebody would build a quality small phone.

Sony has the Compact, but it's still pretty big with a pretty bad screen-to-body, and crazy thick.

Still on my iPhone 5s. With Sony’s current “compact” phone being 5”, this is my final hope as a 6’ manlet of proper one handed usability.

Women keep their phones in their purse so size is irrelevant.

Men are obsessed with proving their masculinity at all times and it leads to stupid behavior. Or they're just compensating. Mostly the last one.

wait until you finish growing before upgrading to an adult sized phone

Is that a buttplug for phones?

>gee why do people that consume a lot of media, browse the web and take pictures with their phones want big screens??????

I wonder why OP.
That being said, I prefer smaller phones, but I also like big screens for the reasons mentioned above so I hve to compromise.

Big phones are made to be in purses, not pockets.

Manlets need to buy smaller jeans, hence why phones don't fit in your pockets

large phones make my huge man hands look smaller

surely you've notice that every company just copies apple to stay competitive at this point?

Ten years ago I had a laptop with a 18.4" display. Crazy.

Manlet here, that's not the problem. The problem is faggots with their skinny jeans.

iPhone SE owner here. I made the switch from a 5,5" Moto 4G. I have large hands and a large penis, however larger phones are just uncomfortable to use one-handed, especially when you use it outside while walking.

But guess what, I can use my SE with one hand *perfectly*, even while walking. I can reach any part of the screen or any button on the side without stretching my fingers. It's just the perfect size. Steve Jobs was right.

>blah blah blah cock jokes
The iPhone SE was literally the perfect form factor for a phone that isn't being used a gaming platform or a mobile television. Fuck literally everything else on the market right now. What the fuck is wrong with Android phone makers that they can't even attempt to produce something similar? I'd like to have more choice, but noooo.

SE2 will print money for applel whenever they bother to release it.

That's exactly what someone with a small penis would say

I play PUBG mobile on my SE works surprisingly well.

This

>anything sub 12”
Manlets blow the fuck off

Don't you know that it is inevitable for those makers to copy trends from each other? (or Apple when it comes to the notch and removing headphone jack)

Buy bt headphones
Stop being poor

This. Fuck memes, the SE is perfectly sized for being a PHONE with various smart features. The move to making phones into PHABLET computers with various phone features is a fucking travesty.

I'd take no headphone jack if it meant getting an SE or android equivalent with -current year- specs. I wouldn't like it, but I would accept the trade-off. Form-factor is the most important part of a good smartphone.

Se2 will be a phablet

Well they had several years to copy the SE and never did so I guess android phone makers are going to keep leaving money on the table. The only ones who tried were Sony and their compact phones were engineering failures that had massive overheating problems.

There are multiple ~ Android flagship's

>How to people use or carry these things?
Use with hands and carry in pocket. How do you function?

>there are functional android phones with the SE form factor
No

I have gigantic hands so I like bigger phones
Smaller phones are annoying for me to use

by not being a manlet

surely you've notice that apple just copies every company to stay competitive at this point?

>How to people use or carry these things?

I carry my Note 8 in my jeans pocket

I use it with the stylus because the screen is still way too small to control with fingers.

Big phones have one-handed modes anyway don't they? Mine does.

I can operate my S8+ one-handed for 90% of applications save the topmost left of the screen when I have the phone above my face in bed. That inconvenience wasn't enough to convince me to get the smaller S8.

No one cares about Literally Who phone.

Swype typing with the stylus is the epitome of comfy

I don't even have giant hands and I can use my 7+ one handed just fine.

They need to make a bigger SE but not fuckhueg like the other "phablet" in the market

>when you use it outside while walking.
I hope you get hit by a car.

Seems like Apple did.

Android supports it natively since Nougat, so yea

>How to people use or carry these things?
With one hand. And when we're not holding them, we put them in our pockets. Stop being a woman.

What a monster, going "outside" and "moving" around.

iPhone se is fucking midget manlet phone. Phones now are just what they should've been not gigantic.

You're a fucking moron. People who work and make far more money than your povertty ridden ass use big phones fucking loser.

>Welfare nigger still talking about a fucking psp

Pure delusion. Literally shit tier fucking screen. Get a battery pack or charge your phone. Smaller than the psp and makes far more sense.

> user buys big phone after being bullied
> too big to use comfortably
> search settings
> incel mode "only for manlets and weak beta males"
> activates it in shame
> bullied nonetheless

RÈèěé nigger stay the fuck away from my iPhone SE I'm 6'4" and it's literally perfect don't make it into just another shitty phone rèeeeee

Just carry it in your purse, OP

it's not a phone, it's a mini widescreen phablet

whats that pic?

Fuck no I'd rather have the smaller screen + longer battery life

What kind of fat sausage fingers do you have?

>t. iManlet

Not him, but I love the stylus because I'm a 32 year old boomer and grew up with Palm Pilots and Windows CE PDAs. My eyes are starting to appreciate the bigger text, too, and I just generally struggle like fuck with smartphone keyboards. The stylus is particularly brilliant for getting rid of those stupid popups with teeny tiny Xs that always come up when looking at tech/review sites.

I had a Note 3 and a Note 5 and loved them, and then my Note 5 got broken and insurance replaced it with an S7 because the whole Note 7 fiasco was going on at the time, and I hated it for every minute of the nearly two years I had it. Typing on that little keyboard made me want to chuck the phone out the window every time I had to do it, and performance was garbage compared to my Notes. It finally had a battery swelling issue and I replaced it with a Note 8 yesterday and couldn't be happier to be back in Phablet world.

looks like IEM's without the cables or earpieaces attached

I have the iPhone X, it's as big as I would like a phone to be in a case, without one is fine, but it's too risky even with Applecare+

Mad because you don't have yaoi hands?

i remember when i wanted to buy the HD2 but didnt cuz i was afraid everyone would make fun of me cuz it was too big

got the n900 instead

This, a phone that I can use one handed is too small for proper web browsing or watching videos so I may as well buy a big slab.

t, 6'1" but handlet

It could be. Depending on whether (to Apple) SE = small phone, or SE = cheap phone for poor countries.

32 makes you solidly a millennial.

Phones got smaller and smaller, until we realised, we could watch porn on them.

>waiting for important job-related call
>huawei decides it's time to crack the screen just so that one can't take a call
>have to use lender iPhone 4

Because people like me use our phones mostly for viewing content and not for quick faggot tweets and text messages to our boyfriends.

A large screen real estate lets me see more content, I can more comfortably read PDF docs and ebooks on the go without fucking zooming in and sliding my phone screen back and forth with every line of text, I just turn it sideways and comfortably see everything.

You can pry my phablet from my cold dead fingers

It's a meme.

t. eyelet

ayyy t2's are nice

>Why are phones so absurdly huge nowadays? How to people use or carry these things?
With their non-manlet hands.

>what went wrong?
WIFI proliferated, 4G became normal, wide varieties of content are freely available and people like the convenience of a pocketable device to enjoy that content on.
Nothing wen't wrong, everything went perfectly.

>I have large hands and a large penis

>>What the fuck is wrong with Android phone makers that they can't even attempt to produce something similar? I'd like to have more choice, but noooo.
It's not worth it for them to make something that'll sell less than 1000 units.

You stole this line, but I can't remember who from.

iPhone SE + eink reader master race reporting. Reading on a phone screen of any size is disgusting.

Please recommend my bro and mum a current android phone that's smaller but not a ripoff Sony compact ? Thanks.

You're out of luck there...
