I'm not sure where I stand on the bloatware issue. If I was making a handset I would have a homepage you swipe too with all the (e.g. Samsung) apps - all in one place - and the rest of the device pretty much stock. This will also make the removal of items easy to free up disk space.

 

I think some of the additions made were useful but Samsung had a complete communication nightmare e.g. eye tracking tech is more useful as a disability aid, or the S-health/pedometer functionality is not only useful but seems to be where a lot of tech is heading (the quantified self). However, I doubt many people use it as they don't even know it is there.

 

I'm also sure that there is a lot of functionality put there just because Samsung can, without thinking whether they should. There also seems to be little if any thought tin trying to make functionality easy enough to find and use that the user will actually want to use it.

 

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

I've gone with a 5-inch Android device and it is too big to use conveniently one-handed (holding briefcase/bag/coffee/train strap/bag/child's hand). It's good for movies, but I'm usually at home doing that and would use the TV or tablet instead.

 

The 4" screen seems about right to me. Until bezels are completely eliminated, that is.
