How to choose the right phone/screen size?

ManOfDisguise · February 15, 2014

I have a Motorola Razr now but I wana get an upgrade in the near future( HTC M8 or might switch to iPhone - Apple is getting to me with their awesome design and build quality!). The Motorola phone I have has a 4.3" screen i think and I dont know how much bigger I want to go. Is there any guide on how to choose the right phone/screen size? My hand is around 19cm from base of palm to top of middle finger.

I guess Any 4.5 inch will do. A phablet?

I don't think there could be a guide because the screen size goes hand to hand with the bezel, for exapmple an xperia z1 compact is about the same size of a moto x, but the xperia has a 4.3" display and the Moto x has a 4.7" display, so i guess you will have to try it out first or try a similary sized phone. Also many flagships you have to use them pretty much with 2 hands, i have a 4" phone but at least i can reach all the screen with no problems using it with 1 hand.

You just have to get used to bigger screens. There's no getting around them.

go to the store and try them out, see what you like. Like people said though, you have to get used to bigger screens

I have a Nexus 5 and while the 5" screen isn't always perfect for one hand use, most of the time it isn't an issue. I wouldn't go back to a small screen. Before this phone I had the iPhone 4 which I thought I didn't mind, but I find the 5" screen to be much more enjoyable.
