Compact Phones

Phones are too big. We've come to accept that 6" phones are normal, and we're mis-sized. But just a few years ago, people hated big phones. We complained that they were uncomfortable to hold, didn't fit in our pockets, and that these phones were "clumsily oversized." Now big phones are all you can buy. Why? Did everyone's hands and pockets get magically bigger? Are phones big because manufacturers want us to drop them?
Whatever the reason, we know what we want: We want small phones!

I have a galaxy and the width matches the thumb and the height is an extra inch. I would be fine it it was slightly shorter but the width is perfect.
Honestly the width = thumb is a pretty accurate measure for feeling comfortable in the hand. Smaller phones gave me finger cramps.
