oh god this. On my ipad I have entire sentencesntypednoutnwithnnonspaces

Just reading your deliberate mistake makes my skin get all prickly

I HATE when I've typed some shit out and I look at it and it's all garbled up shit

Makes me wanna throw my iPad through the window
 
The rest of the world doesn't have a choice. Where is the smaller screen Galazy S3 (insert Android based LTE phone) for EU with no NFC??

Er, you're proving my point? If the manufacturers were putting out big screen phones just because they could pack in bigger batteries because of LTE power demands, as Liu Kang says, then the manufacturers would also be putting out smaller screen versions in the markets without LTE.
 
Phone screens were getting bigger before LTE came along. The GSM Galaxy Nexus doesn't support LTE, has a relatively small battery and yet has one of the bigger screens. The Galaxy Note, the phone with the biggest screen, had its initial launch in most of the world without LTE. The 5" Dell Streak before it didn't have LTE either. Nor did the first HTC Titan, the WP with the biggest screen, support LTE.
LTE is strictly a NorthAMerica/Korean phenomena. The rest of the world are buying big screen phones without LTE.
That relatively small battery is 20% larger than the iPhone 4/4S.

Well it's 30% less than the Galaxy Note (which has a bigger screen) and 50% less than the Razr MAXX (which has a smaller screen) — both phones came out around the same time as the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy SII with a smaller, more efficient screen and lower resolution yet has a similar sized battery to the Nexus. *shrug* like I said, it's relative. The point though is that LTE is not the main factor for bigger screens.
 
Can anyone post those renders from this French site? They look amazing. I'm mobile right now.

If you say "relatively small" in a general manner, nobody expects you to mean you're comparing it to the phones with the largest batteries, especially in an iPhone thread. What is considered a relatively normal battery size if the Galaxy Nexus/SII are considered relatively small?
 
iPhone fans here must be the most conservative cellphone users ever.

Any single hardware difference and they get skeptical. The most stupid thing, is the people who clinch onto the classical iPhone display size, as if it is some golden standard that should never ever be changed.

Every time i have to touch my relatives iPhone 4S (to help them with something, had a 3GS myself for 2 years) i feel completely cramped. The display is just too darn small now. Sure, you do not need Galaxy Note big but at-least on par with all the other manufacturers flagship phones.

Its funny how the people clinging onto the iPhones display size are the same people who probably were stuck with physical buttons back when touch-screens started become popular.

To use the iPhone after moving onto larger screens is like touching a 1 inch candy bar phone, after using the iPhone 3GS for a year (back in the days).


Any flagship phone screen size ----> iPhone screen size

Feels just like going from iPhone screen size ----->

First, do you agree that LTE is not the reason for bigger screen phones? Because I'm not even sure why you're nitpicking this. It's an iPhone thread but Liu Kang brought up other big screen phones with bigger batterries and LTE (which doesn't include the iPhones as the 5 isn't officially announced yet), so if I'm trying to put the GNexus battery in context of course I'd compare it to bigger (than 3.5") screen phones with larger batteries—not the iPhone. But this is belabouring the point: if you think the GNexus's battery is big... *shrug* wut eva.

I agree LTE isn't the reason for most of the larger phones being sold. But LTE is probably a reason why the next iPhone is larger while thinner. I don't think there are many 3.5" phones that thin with LTE. I think the battery will be relatively large, maybe as large as the relatively small battery on the Galaxy Nexus.
