"I love Android, but I prefer it more on tablets than phones" - Android Authority
Android on tablets has quickly improved and matured into a delightful experience, so much so that I prefer it to using Android on phones now.

that's a long ass article just saying "I like big screens"
I prefer my phone because it fits in my pocket, thanks.
Sounds like somebody just needs bigger pockets.
I kind of am in the "large phone" camp too, but one point I'd bring up: present-day women's fashion tends to not be as friendly to large pockets. If someone is female and doesn't want to use a handbag for their phone, small size may be a big deal. It's something I try to be sensitive of when I see someone complaining about large phones. If you're a guy, getting clothing with large pockets is easy. If you're a girl, it's a larger constraint.
I've seen a lot of women in tight jeans with small pockets and the majority of a large phone hanging out the top of the pocket.
I remember reading that having storage that went beneath skirts, with a slit to access it, used to historically be really common, but the 20th century shift in fashion towards more body-fitting dresses and then pants kind of killed that.

Yeah.
Do you find it frustrating that dresses and skirts hardly ever have pockets?
Even pants and jackets for women often don't have pockets you can actually put things in.
Clothes with pockets are a relatively new phenomenon, National Galley of Victoria textile and fashions curator Paola Di Trocchio said.
"In the 17th century women and men actually had external pockets," she told ABC Radio Melbourne's Hilary Harper.
While women who worked would wear these pockets on the outside of their clothing for ease of access, others wore the pockets under their skirts.
The large skirts in fashion at the time meant people could hide a lot in their pockets.
By this time men's clothes often included sewn-in pockets, because although women had begun to go out in public more "it was the men, typically, who handled money".
Women would often carry their items in a tiny bag, called a reticule, which eventually grew to a sensible size and became the modern handbag.
As for the future, Ms Di Trocchio said there's hope for pocket-lovers, with pockets potentially becoming larger and more common.
"Because we've got smartphones ... either our handbags or our pockets probably, design-wise, will respond because that's what humans are asking for, that's what they're desiring."
Yeah, I absolutely meant that as a joke. I also advocate for a return to a wider variety of smaller flagships for people who prefer them.
Why are you not writing this on a smartwatch then? You seem to have tiny fingers.
