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?

    Doesn’t increased battery life mean increased weight? Have you found anything in the sweet spot? I have a Pixel 6 Pro and I remember being shocked at how heavy it was when I got it. Definitely looking for something lighter for my next phone.

      Honestly, crap like glass backs increases the weight more than a bigger battery. I have both a Pixel 4a and an 8. The 8 is barely bigger than the 4a, but 40 grams heavier.

        Ugh, I hate glass backs. Slippery and can crack. Why are they a thing? I’ll have to look into the ‘a’ class of phones.

          They’re a thing because of wireless charging.
