    Any phone around 5 inches is good. Because anything above that would be a hassle.

    My Moto G at 4.5 inches (?) seems about right to me. Any larger and it'd struggle to fit in the special phone pocket of my jacket so I'd be knackered then for listening to podcasts when I'm walking the dog!

    On a related note, I'll definitely be going to a smaller tablet when I upgrade; my Xoom is just too clunky.

    I've found the m8 from HTC to be ideal for the size of my hands. I've also sussed out its centre of gravity pretty quick and can spin it using my fingers when watching videos.

    Well, for me perfect size is that it fits comfortably in the pocket. I own a HTC One X it has 4.7" screen and it's laying good, Im going to uprage to a new One M8 this summer and it should be good despite its 5" screen, will see.

    Could live a tiny bit biogger than my s3's size, but not much. Just sold my 7 inch tablet as the size is just wrong - glad I didn't go for a Fonepad back when I considered it..

    Note 2 5.5" screen is perfect for me as I can read the news without my glasses and not having to make the text silly large to do so.

    I'm considering the 6" Nokia.

    The Samsung S3 I have now is a pretty good size. Don't think I would consider a model with a screen larger than 5".

    Nexus 5 felt large to start with but now used to it and wouldn't mind a slightly larger screen... Maybe 10% bigger?

    Currently got the nexus 4 which at 4.7" I find a bit too big. Previous phone was 3.7" and I thought after using for a while it was too small. Hoping for next phone to find something around 4.3 or possibly another 4.7 if the bezels can be reduced enough.

    I think 5" would be the sweet spot for me.

    Re: Features - QOTW: What is the perfect smartphone size for you?

    My Lumia 620 has a 3.8 inch screen which does feel small, but it fits well in any pocket. I do watch netflix on it in bed as watching the TV can feel intrusive when you are trying to relax. I think 4.5 inch is the right size in the long run and definitely no larger than a 5 inch screen for a mobile phone for me.

    I got a note 3 last year and it feels like the perfect size for my shovel hands. I don't think I will ever use anything smaller again.
