Next Pinephone should be smaller (imho)

[_kiwi]

Now I'm wondering, do people here actually like to have a so big device? Or is it in imitation of market trends?

Any smaller than this and I'll find it unusable as a smartphone. And I might prefer a dumb phone over it (which I used for the past year).

I would prefer a 7-inch PinePhone.

If the screen gets any bigger then the current device, I'll consider it only as a interesting tablet. Wouldn't carry it on me everywhere.


I guess it's good to fit in the market trends.

Any smaller and any bigger, I guess you are very lucky
For comparison, the PinePhone (160.5x76.6 mm) is much bigger than an 12th gen iPhone (146.7x71.5), and more comparable to an iPhone *Max* (160.8x78.1).

it will be endless debate what is perfect pinephone. some want it smaller, and some bigger. more cpu, bigger screen and so on. it's going to be compromise and most likely pine company will produce one design plan.

Yes, and to have a compromise there must be a discussion 

however, i would go on bigger side. not necessarily because of screen, because of battery. some way around 5000 mAh is probably fine.

That can be achieved also with software optimizations, more efficient hardware, a thicker device, a power bank.
