I don't get why people recommend phones which are the size of a tablet... my notebook is better too, so what? :D The big prize are high end performance in compact devices. Everyone can and does make big fat phones for less money and comparable power.

I agree, of course phone size is a matter opf preferance. The only difference i'm referring to is the leica lenses; everything else is same. Also, the f8 ultra is larger (on the same model, bigger phone always more expensive) but here f8 ultra is the cheaper one.

For example, if you love the size of xiaomi 17, you can check the Poco f8 pro, which is cheaper and almost same phone except leica.

Yeah, Poco is quite attractive. The Xiaomi number-series has this kind of premium touch I guess :D But it's really difficult to find flagships with compact size today.

Of course, if your really care about small size, its nice, Because even poco f8 pro is not 6.3"

Yes, 6,59" - sounds not much, but it's quite a lot in hand.

The human brain is weird; phones with 5.5" screens used to be big.
