I've been watching some reviews on some older Androd phones and some of the complaints are they're too big, but compared to the newer phones they're not big at all. It's funny that a few years ago people didn't like that the phones were getting larger and now people like it and many prefer phones with large screens.

You can always put it in your purse right? You don't need to carry it all the time. I think it's a little big though. 6.8 inches is too much for a phone. My dad has the Note II, and I like the size of it which I think is 5.5. It's small to be considered a tablet but big enough to use as a phone. He can use it with one hand! I borrow it sometimes when watching youtube videos because my iPhone 4S is quite small

It looks too big for my taste. You're going to have to hold it in your hands the whole time as it will not fit in your pocket.

I remember there was a small flip phone on AT&T. I'm not sure what the name of it was, but it was silver and was very small. Do you remember it?

I prefer the phones with the big screens also. They definitely are getting lighter. I wonder how light they can make them while still being somewhat durable.

Personally, I don't like using a Bluetooth headset often, so it would be a hassle to need to hold the phone.

Yes agree, SIII is still the best for me..

Do you think you might get one of them?

Samsung has officially announced its new smartphones with big screens of 6.3 and 5.8 inches. Do you like them?
