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).

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. Smile

Any smaller and any bigger, I guess you are very lucky Big Grin
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  Smile

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