With regards to screen size, one of the reasons that pushed me towards a bigger screen was the specs in general. Of all the big brands in the Android space, the only device manufacture that offered a worthy smaller screen device was Sony. At the time, OnePlus 3T era haven't checked lately, they would shrink the screen, reduce battery and that was it. Processor, storage, RAM, camera... All were left the same.

Now, Chen has to target where they feel they will get the most sales. If successful with this device, and possibly a follow up, and cash reserves build up, then they can experiment. That being said, although the screen may suit more mainstream audience, form factor may be more suited to us. You could make it ultra targeted at one demographic but then limit sales.

Unfortunately, like many, I can't commit to this until I see it actually released. I don't have the funds at the moment to say one way or the other as to if I will get one
