minus-squareshitescalates@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoScreen size has a direct effect on one handed use. Bezels dont matter as much as people make them out to. Regardless, not being too much bigger than other recent phones does not make it compact
minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI’d rather have bezels - they make holding a phone easier.

This whole argument is nonsense, and doesn’t change the pint that 6.3 is not “compact”. That we can find any phone smaller given the market today, means it isn’t compact. The Samsung S4 Mini was compact compared to the S4, by design.
minus-squareTheFrirish@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI think you’re mixing screen size and phone size. the size of the screen is itself big but the phone’s print is small.
minus-squareOnomatopoeia@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·2 months agoPlenty. And that’s an irrelevant strawman and goalpost move all rolled into one anyway. I’m currently running a Pixel 5,which is noticeably smaller. 6.3 is not compact.

The Pixel 5 was released in 2020.
