    I'm with you here on the people never having tried one. For a point in mid 2013 I used a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my daily driver. As the name implies this was intended to be a tablet which had a 7.7 inch screen and it was not 16:9 making it noticeably less slender. It could make and receive calls however and at the time I just wanted to try the biggest screen I could find. It fit in both my trouser and coat pockets and typing was wonderful, as was battery life! Its major let down was the camera so I only kept it a few months.

    Anyway I've rambled some, there's something contradictory here which I find very typical around apple; some praise them for their one handed use approach yet others do so for their revolutionising smartphones with multi-touch interfaces… which is it that's good, using one hand or both?

    All I'll say is that for the past 18 months or so (a honest record amount of time for me to have kept the same handset for) I've used a Oneplus One and I am downright annoyed anytime I have to bring a 2nd hand to its 5.5 inch screen and it is never because I can't reach anything…

    The majority who say phones larger than 4" are "big" have never actually owned one.

    I personally very quickly got used to my 5" Galaxy S4 up from 3.7" HTC Desire. I wouldn't go back.

    The iPhone 6 is small! You can certainly go bigger than 4.7". Samsung have it about right with 5.1". I look at an iPhone 6/6S and just think how small it is.

    But no 5.8" would be very niche. Google tried it with the 5.9" Nexus 6 and it didn't sell well.

    I'm selling my Nexus 6P soon. It's a fantastic phone but just to impractical. I've had it 4 months and haven't warmed to it.
