It's disappointing there really isn't a great high-end Android phone these days that's competitive with the iPhone 6S. All the mainstream higher end units either have screens that are too big or lack something in features IMO.
- vetinari 11y agoThe unit size is not proportional to display size. iPhone 6S has display size comparable to Xperia Z5 Compact, yet the Xperia is a much smaller phone. iPhone is sized similarly to the original Nexus 5, yet the Nexus has much bigger display.
- bydo 11y agoEven without any bezels at all, the 5"+ screens that seem to be the cost of entry to high-end Android devices would still be too large for many to use comfortably with a single hand. Though the 6s and Z5 Compact actually have very similar ratios of screen coverage: 65.6% on the 6s[1] vs 68.9% on the Z5C[2], according to GSMArena. 1: http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_6s-7242.php http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_6s-7242.php 2: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5_compact-7535.php http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5_compact-7535.php
- vetinari 11y agoWell, you might try the 5" phones. Two years ago, I also thought the same, and then I got the original N5. Last autumn I changed the phone to Z5, not Z5C, because I considered Z5 more comfortable to use. > Though the 6s and Z5 Compact actually have very similar ratios of screen coverage: 65.6% on the 6s[1] vs 68.9% on the Z5C[2], according to GSMArena. The 11 mm difference in length is subjectively huge. It's best to have both in the hands, at once.
