Prior to 2011, smartphones usually had screen sizes ranging from 3.5-inch to 4.3-inch displays. [caption id="attachment_325857" align="alignnone" width="482"] The original Samsung Galaxy Note[/caption] The first Galaxy Note's 5.3-inch display, and its surprising popularity, set a new industry standard: bigger phones, and in turn bigger displays, were in. And as we enter 2023, you'll have a difficult time finding smartphones that have display sizes below 6.4 inches. Heck, flagship phones such as the S22 Ultra and the iPhone 14 Pro Max sport absolutely massive 6.8-inch and 6.7-inch displays respectively. Small phones, in my eyes, are still way better than the tablet-sized devices we have today. The XS features a 5.85-inch screen, which may not sound small at first but is overall still much smaller compared to smartphone displays of today.
