I think Sony beats Samsung on design lately...

And was pleasantly surprised by LG yesterday. The new back button seems like a nice move. I could see myself with that as my next device if Samsung and Sony don't bring their A-Game to Berlin.

While looking for info about note lll I realized samsung's latest mistake. The latest leaks about Note lll talks about a 5,6ich screen. While Samsung also has galaxy mega, that device can't handle the competition form Z ultra and HTC's big foot. Galaxy note must have a screen closer to 6 than 5.5 to keep the battle with Ultra Z in Samsung's favor.

No way man.

Shaved bezels + 5 inch is the sweet spot for many.
I have large hands, and one-handed use isn't important to me, as long as its pocketable. Hence, for me something like 5.2in is the sweet spot but I could go as far as 5.7inch I think (depending largely on the phones total size).

Just because Sammy doesn't blow dimensions out of the water doesn't make it an uncompetitive/bad product. If anything its better, because sometimes you have to be somewhat sensible.

Samsung doesn't blow dimensions out of the water? I find this statement obviously wrong.

Sweet spots change all the time. In fact the sweet spot can be defined as the average of the screen sizes of the desireable brands' flagships. Remember how the streak looked like 3 years ago? Like a mutated monstrosity. Now 5 inch is the norm. I'm can see it every day. People who found the omnia hd (3.7) huge now carry 5 inch phones.

^ Lol phone's were much thicker then so it wasn't possible to have it such large sizes because of the bulk.

The streak is still a monster. I compared it hand to hand with the NOTE, and its larger and feels more awkward in the pocket.

Unless phones become flexible, or are able to fold in two (and remain slim)... I don't think we can go much larger.

The hand problem is not it. People have adapted to the iPad and using these Superphones with two hands.

The problem is portability. How do you carry it when you don't use/hold it?
A purse is a good solution... but what about +50% of the other population = men.

We still need them to fit in our front/back pockets of our jeans.
We're not gonna start using purses. I rather die.

I'd like a 5", double-display clamshell :)

I did the calculations and comparisons for you convenience !!!!!!1!

NOTE: 146.9 x 83.0 x 9.7 mm
NOTE 2: 151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm

NOTE 3: 147.5 x 76.0 x 8.9 mm -> 5.7in screen
vs
SGS 4: 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm -> 5.0in screen

Difference: 10.9 x 6.2 x 1.0 mm -> Yeah, I know which one I'm going for!!!

Why buy a note lll when you have OG or OG copy 1?
