Just finished watching MKBHD’s video “Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them” yt indivio

I’m wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

    QWERTY keyboard, mainly.

    I was a big physical keyboard goon, but they are few and far between now.

    I was thrilled with my BlackBerry Passport, even everyone took the piss when that chonky boi came out, usually something like “hey that’s a nice 50” TV you’ve got there" or “hey when are you going to wall mount your phone?” and all that bollocks. Bigger phone makes for a comfier keyboard though, and my Unihertz Titan would have killed someone it was that big and solid (giggity).

    Now I’ve gone the opposite direction with the Samsung Galaxy Flip, the folded form factor is quite nice admittedly.
