Since my next upgrade is roughly 2 years I'm worried 6" will be standard for a phone by the time my contract is up.

For a long time I found complaining about the size of a phone to be stupid. People were complaining about a 4" phone being too big for "small hands" but, right now with the proliferation of phablets I have to admit I'm worried people will be holding all kinds of crazy devices to their heads..

"The HTC One measures 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3 mm and has a weight of 143 grams. On the other hand the Samsung Galaxy S4 is 136.6 mm tall, 69.8 mm wide and only 7.9 mm thin, while weighing 130 grams. Even though it has to accommodate a bigger display it’s not as tall as the HTC One, but it is wider than the Taiwanese flagship. Moreover, the S4 is 13 grams lighter than the One and 1.4 mm thinner.
Because the Samsung Galaxy S4 is thinner and lighter than the HTC One, the dimensions round is won by the flagship smartphone of the South Korean phone maker."

So it's actually slightly shorter than the HTC One, 15% thinner, and only 2.3% wider.

Also the AT&T Optimus G is 71.6mm wide and 8.5mm thick. The Galaxy S4 being 69.8mm wide and 7.9mm thick means it's smaller than the Optimus G too, which is pretty damn comfy to me already!

Well then shame on me for not doing my homework, thanks for setting me straight. :thumbup:
