The Lumia 820 was 800x480 on a 4.3" screen, and I found it perfectly pleasant to use. 5" would be adequate for that end of the market.
It was less pleasant when I dropped it a foot and a half onto a carpeted floor and the screen cracked irreparably.
Maybe the idea is to recapture that market they used to dominate, of low-cost, robust phones with the very basics. (And snake.) Nowadays, of course, the 'very basics' includes web, email and suchlike. But not everybody wants the latest fad phone-game; they want their phones to, shock horror, communicate with people. Maybe they'll find a market that would otherwise go to the most rock-bottom terrible android handsets; pretty sure it'll be a better product than those.
Maybe they'll fail. Given it's where they excelled in the past, though, you can't blame them for trying.
