Over the last three years we've seen screen sizes on smartphones vary from a smallish 3 inches to a massive 5.3-inch on the Galaxy Note. It's a similar story with tablets, only those started out at around 10.1-inches and have gotten smaller from there.
Meanwhile, despite longstanding rumors of Apple releasing a larger iPhone or smaller iPad, the company has stuck to its guns with the original 3.5- and 9.7-inch form factors of those devices.
I'm all for diversity and choice, but there's a point where a phone is just too big to carry around hassle free and a tablet is too small for the tasks it's intended to handle. We've asked the same question about laptops before, but now we want to know: What's your preferred smartphone and tablet size?
Personally, the 3.5-inch form factor of the iPhone suits me well, but I could easily get used to a ~4-inch device if it doesn't add much bulk. Anything over that seems unnecessary and would actually hurt portability. As for tablets, I think both 10- and 7-inch sizes are here to stay. So far I prefer the former.
Def something around 4.3". Anyone who says it's too big has not used it. I can't even look at an iPhone anymore. The screen is tiny. Not to mention that with a smaller bevel and thinner, phones like the galaxy s2 have a much bigger screen, but fit great in a pocket. I carry my samsung galaxy s2 in my pocket all day at work, and I barely notice it is there. Sometimes I even check my pocket because I can't tell that I still have it. I think every manufacturer is seeing that 4 inch+ screens are really hitting it big, and for good reason. I'm not sure how I feel about the note. I feel like some pants I wear would not hold it so well. 4.5 is also a good size.
