“What is this, a phone for ants?”

I read the display size before buying it but didn’t realize how different .5 inch looks and feels irl. The specs are obviously streets ahead but I feel like I’m in that Zoolander scene when he pulls out his phone xD. I think I’m gonna keep it though. Is 200 ish worth the extra half inch?

    I had the same dilemma with you, as 6.1 is not big enough for modern standards yet I didn’t want to spend an extra phone of cost for the plus. Then I realized something. I have a 34’ PC monitor, and I will soon have an 65’ OLED TV. Needless to say, my phone is NOT going to be my primary means of content consumption, but merely a highly reliable and snappy tool with which I communicate, take good pictures, and do my 2FA security stuff. So screen size becomes less important and suddenly, the more compact form comes at play. If your phone is going to be your primary means of content consumption go all the way to Plus or even the Ultra. If you are me the small one is clearly the better choice.

      Nice! Yeah, this is how I’ve come to see it too. I use two laptops during the day while working from home. I definitely wanted…well all the better specs. The A12 is almost a potato these days lol.
