I'm not. My nexus 6 was fun when it was new, but I've kinda grown tired of how enormous it is. I feel like 5.5 would be perfect for me.
I have a 5.2" (Nexus 5X) and I still want something smaller.
I switched from a Z3 Compact to an iPhone SE and the 4" screen is great.
I was starting to think i was the last person alive that wanted this. Please keep making noise. I really hope the next lineup has a 4".
I'm really hoping the 'tock' for the iphone 7 will include an SE version of it
My hope is for an alternating fall/spring release schedule. New flagships for the large and extra large market every September/October, and a new medium sized phone built around the same innards in March/April.
"Small" designation deliberately omitted. That's what I'd call the iPhone 1 through 4S, but it doesn't seem likely that we'll get any new ones.
Exact same situation here. Portability is much more important than an immersive experience for my use. Many people spend a lot more time on their phones than me though. I only use mine when on the move and would much rather be on a laptop once settled.
I love my N6, and if anything i'm afraid the PixelXL will be too small for me. I take comfort in knowing that the N6 can be a bit cumbersome at times.. despite me loving it, so maybe the XL will be perfect.
If Google ever releases a new Nexus 7, that will be the only device with a chance to replace my N6. I couldn't even go down to a 6P size.
I'm not looking forward to stepping down from a Nexus 6 to a smaller screen. But then I'm a 6'3" dude. Phones under 5" screens feel like toys to me now.
The ideal size: between 4.5" - 4.7"
Depends how big your hands are. I have a 5.0" inch and can use the whole screen no problem one handed no problem. 4.5-4.7" would exclusively be a downgrade for me.
It's not just how it feels in your hand, it's how easy it is to tuck away in a pocket. Unless you carry a purse or wear some sort of belt clip, a phone can get quite annoying to tote around.
I got used to Nexus 6P (5.7") quite quickly, and I don't wear purses or belt clips. It did feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning.
That's what I've been saying for years. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus, and my current is a Nexus 5. The change from 4.65" to 5", along with less-rounded edges, meant that the new phone was really a mixed blessing for me. I'd really prefer something that fits in my pocket without me noticing and that I don't need 2 hands to be comfortable using. People still think I'm crazy when I tell them that 5" is too large for a really usable phone.
