I was in the small phone camp. I’m in a fortunate position where due to my work I have a work phone that has regularly refreshed hardware that I have some input on, so I made the conscious decision to switch to a max-sized handset (iPhone 15 pro max). I gave up being able to ‘one-hand’ the phone, but let’s be honest - all modern mainstream phones can’t really be used with one hand easily, that ship has sailed.
I really liked it. The larger screen is more productive, and the improved cameras on the larger phones are worth it for me. I take more and better photos of my kids.
Sometimes it’s worth trying the thing you don’t think you want - you might be surprised.
phone size has nothing to do with camera quality (in the current market, only in the theory), the best android camera phones are the smallest pixels, every other brand has worse cameras and bigger dimensions
The iPhone pro max cameras offer more physical options that I actually take advantage of, so it’s a true statement for me.
I agree that phone size doesn’t have to correlate to picture quality, but that’s how many of the manufacturers position their cameras - bigger phones get the more capable cameras.
While I’m glad for the author, in that they’ve found something that delights them, this just seems like a really long-winded way to say “matte screens have less glare” - not a new fact.
There are special surfaces (also used in some TVs I believe) which actually reflect somewhat less light. I assume this "nano texture" is something like that. (Of course the screen being matte also helps.)
On windows at least, I almost always use 'alt+space; x' to maximise windows, as well as winkey+left/right/up/down, which is really the only resizing I do. Having to use the mouse is a pain.
