Default Samsung has made a huge mistake with the size of the S3!!

Where is the phone for those of us who dont like to carry a mini tablet in our pockets? A mid range small device wont do but a fully speced no compromises small device. I can bet the S3 wont sell as much as the S2 the size is now just ridiculous for many people.

What does samsung think there is no market for smaller high end phones anymore?? Ah no the sales of the iphone 4S would beg to differ. I personally know 3 people who didnt buy S2 simply because of size and got an iphone 4S. Wake up samsung you are really missing out on alot of customers and with the S3 the list is just going to be bigger.

Samsung loves making a gazillion phones and yet they cant make 2 versions of their flagship is beyond me.

For me, between 4.5 and 5" is perfect

Don't bait the trolls.

This s2's 4.3" screen feels little now

IMO the Galaxy S3's screen size is the perfect size. To me, anything above 4.3 and under 5" is the sweet spot. Anything smaller makes the phone seem low end, and anything bigger hampers the phone's portability.

There's the iPhone for you if you don't like the size. Better get one quick though cause rumor has it they will bump the size up too as apparently nobody patented that yet.

For me the perfect size is a 4 inches device with minimal bezel and fully loaded specs.

lol why are you guys getting so upset? I never said nobody wants big phone but that they should just make 2 galaxy S3 models one with 4.3" screen and one with 4.8". I am not asking for a 3.5" phone jeez.

Anyways it's samsung's loss thats what I was pointing out at. I have a nexus S and I find the galaxy nexus to be too big let alone the S3. I wont buy an iphone but might have to look at HTC or sony for my next phone.

And apple releasing a big iphone? I can bet my house it wont be bigger than 4" screen which is just perfect size for a compact phone.
