I feel like phones are slightly larger than optimum at the moment. At least for my preferences. I guess it&#x27;s tougher to fit high spec hardware into a phone with a smaller footprint.<p>I bought into Steve Jobs&#x27; idea phones should be usable one-handed. I think the sweet-spot for that is 4 inches or less. A premium phone at these dimensions doesn&#x27;t exist anymore, the last one was probably the iPhone 5S.<p>I went from iPhone 3GS -&gt; iPhone 5 -&gt; Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and honestly the Z3 Compact is larger than I would like (4.6&quot; screen). I&#x27;m honestly considering getting a 5S for my next phone because I don&#x27;t want a phone as big as the iPhone 6.<p>I noticed recently that the One Plus 2 Mini is going to have a 5&quot; screen, that seems insane for a &quot;mini&quot; phone.
