    What smartphone screen size do you prefer?

    Just got a new HTC Desire 816. Huge jump in screen size (5.5"). After adjusting to the large display I don't think I'd ever wanna go smaller. Pretty much don't have a need to use my small (7")tablet anymore. Browsing, YouTube and Netflix are great on this larger display in my opinion. What's...
