you think back to Zoolander days phones weren't big at all but that's when our primary consumption Behavior was phone calling now it's video and when it comes to video bigger is better the center has to be at least three times bigger than this if you remember way back at the time of the release both the original Galaxy Note and the Dell Streak were inconceivably large Samsung in particular made the case for what would quickly be labeled a fablet by offering a smartphone that had a waycom powered stylus over time devices gradually grew larger to the point where we are today where the de facto size for an Android phone is 5 in Plus of course not all smartphone manufacturers have gone along the same route like it or not Apple's success in the smartphone market stands as a testament to this especially amid reports that the 4.7 in iPhone 6 outsold the 5.5 in iPhone 6 plus 7 to1 even so there are countless Apple Fans still disappointed by cupertino's decision to go big longing for the minuscule 4 in of pixel power put in previous products meanwhile in Android territory OEM have by and large chosen to regulate the small scream form factor to a back burner experience at Best by using names like mini in particular they not only seek to describe the device itself but also offer a Telltale all on the specs that will be featured inside the device this is exactly why Sony's use of the name compact is so profound as it doesn't imply anything other than Superior portability case in point I had this phone for a long time fantastic battery life in fact the best out of any Android Flagship at least up until the time that I had it and it has micro SD card support no removable battery but generally the phone is sick by far the best Android phone I've ever had now as if the small form factor isn't underappreciated enough these days even the name mini is becoming somewhat convoluted ZTE announced its plans to launch the axon phone mini but it's almost tongue and cheek with a 5.2 in screen the device isn't actually small at all yet for the sole fact that the standard model is a fablet and the Aon Max is rumored to be a whopping 6 in so I will confess I utterly failed at this prediction for those of you watching for a long time you'll know that 18 months ago I predicted that smartphones Flagship smartphones would kind of revert back to 4.7 4.8 in Max because that was the largest size screen you could have and still ensure one-handed usability but I was wrong completely wrong the importance of a larger screen for media consumption was much more important because because smartphones are becoming people's primary device in some cases their sole device that's certainly true with my three teenagers at home here they consume media and use their smartphone for everything homework movies video games you name it so having a slightly bigger phone is much more important than just one-handed usability I get it I was completely wrong however will it change will there be enough demand for one-handed devices that smartphone man manufacturers will provide more options I doubt it you see this brings up a new prediction and that is that I think there will be new category devices that change people's behavior before people revert back to a smaller screen so virtual reality devices for example or different wearable devices that allow us to consume media in easier more accessible ways is more likely than people reverting back to a smaller screen what do you guys think let me know in the comments below thanks for watching and army yes I know I do have a
