I currently have a Sony compact phone but they don't make compact ones any more!

Fellow small phone lovers, do you get used to having a larger phone, or is it a continual source of annoyance?

Apologies for the inane question!

Nope.
Went from blackberries to Samsung and even after four years I still hate the phone size and lack of physical buttons.

Got used to having a larger phone surprisingly quickly. Other peoples phones seem really tiny to me now.

Continual source of annoyance.

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 21/11/2019 21:40

Yes. I found an old phone in the drawer recently and couldn't get over how tiny it was

I have an iPhone 8+ and couldn’t go back to the smaller ones now, they are tiny! It took a little bit of getting used to

I fought the tide for ages. I love my larger iPhone now.

Oysterbabe · 21/11/2019 21:41

I got used to it really fast.

Yes. I’ve got an iPhone XR, upgraded from a 7 and I suffered with mild headaches for about a week after. I’ve had bigger phones before and do prefer a bigger screen; I suppose it takes a while for everything to adjust.

Following this with interest as I'm in the same situation. Had different Sony compacts for 6 years now and although the phone has the odd issues I've loved the size of it! Hoping the next one I go for won't take to long to adjust to.. Eeek

I really like Sony compact phones (on my third one), so annoyed they don't make them anymore. The Xperia 5 doesn't look too ginormous, and is probably what I will replace my compact with.

Korean phablet phone 7 inches. Fabulous!

SerenDippitty · 21/11/2019 21:50

Got used to my Google Pixel 3 really quickly, love it.

I've recently got a Huwai P30 (after the much smaller iPhone 6) and am pleasantly surprised by how quickly I've got used to it. Having said that my husband used to have an iPhone 6Plus which I found painful to use as it was so big 🤦🏻‍♀️

I love a big phone now for watching stuff on the move without carrying a tablet

feeling7 · 21/11/2019 22:38

Ahh, I'm glad to hear that many of you have found the transition okay.

I've loved my Sony compacts. Annoyed they have stopped doing them! Screen is covered in black dots and not sure if I can stomach the repair cost on a three year old phone.
