Why do people like giant cell phones?

with 5-inch screens?

Just curious

[BruceBowenFan]

Im always on youtube and watching videos, so for me having a 5 inch is pretty badass. I tried watching netflix on my buddy's iphone 4, that was a no go.

I couldn't tell you except I disagree that 5" is getting "giant." Mine has a 4-1/2" screen. It's a little wider than my first cell phone, but shorter and lighter.

This isn't my first cell phone, but it was similar:

I'm currently using a Galaxy S2.

People who enjoy the giant cell phone don't use it as a phone

[lefty]

Because they have small dicks


Right Venti ?

5" screen = don't need tablet

[DarrinS]

I just prefer the ability to put my phone in my shirt pocket

[DisAsTerBot]

nice. phone in your shirt pocket guy

[DarrinS]

If they got to iPad size, would you make calls on it?

that probably wouldn't be as popular since you can't fit an ipad in your pocket. Though a lot of people have taken their HSPA+ Nexus 7s and used google voice and a voip app like vonage or groove IP and given up their phone. They just pair a bluetooth headset with it.

FWIW, I think that 4.7-5 is going to be as high as I go and I have pretty big hands, but the note 2 exists so obviously I am not the top of the market.

Because i have big hands and is better to watch videos

[DarrinS]

I think Kawhi Leonard could make a call on an iPad-sized phone.

[InRareForm]

Technology is great.. why not use it to it's fullest on a bigger screen if you want a smart phone.


if you want to just make calls, get a simple flip phone.

[lefty]

My phone is 4'3 tbh

No, it's because we have money to buy screen real estate.

Fwiw, I like carrying my cellphone in my shirt pocket too ( don't want to scratch the screen in my pants pocket). With that being said, I noticed yesterday that my 4.7 inch nexus 4 fits far better in my shirt pocket than my 4.3 inch evo 3d due to the varying thicknesses.

i remember in the 90s i think i was the first wanker in my highschool walking around with a cellphone ericson388.....

I just think it's interesting that we started with huge, clunky phones, then evolved to really small phones, and now it's trending back to large phones. I understand people watching videos, hence the need for more real estate. Just not my thing.

I prefer books and videos the old fashioned way.

[ElNono]

people do?

yeah, but these aren't clunky. That is the difference.

Remember those Motorolla phones that used the full size SIM card?

Now before the SIM cards, cell phones were like this:
