For me they have been a commodity for quite a while. My main concern is size, it&#x27;s become rather difficult to find reasonably spec-ed &quot;smaller&quot; phones. Many are advertised as small phones but really aren&#x27;t (HTC does this over and over). Samsung&#x27;s Galaxy Mini is getting bigger and bigger with each release. I&#x27;ve never been an iPhone user but before they released their big phones I always saw their small iPhone, their flagship phone no less, as a shining light of reason in a field full of crazy-sized phablets.<p>I don&#x27;t mind the phablets, what bothers me is that they&#x27;re forgetting that some people want a phone that they can use with just one hand. Apparently there aren&#x27;t that many consumers committed to buying only those kind of phones.
