Larger style phones: more productive, less productive, same?

[Sly]

Right now I have a 5S and 6S. Debating trading in the 5S for a 7 Plus. I have always thought the larger phones were way too big, but I'm curious if there is any productivity boost?

[mineistaken]

Sounds natural that it is a productivity boost with every extra mm, but you lose in "mobility" so to speak. So pros and cons.

[yuu.design]

more productive IMO

That's where I was leaning. My laptop is ~1300x700 res and it drives me up a tree.

I like the larger screens. Its easier on the eyes and fingers. It sucks when you have to put the thing in your pocket though lol

I have a Nokia 3310. It's small and it makes me pretty damn productive.
I can make and receive calls, text and calculate basic stuff.

The fact it's not loaded with FB, Twit, Email, Internet, Camera is a big plus.

What is Cingular charging you for that?

No idea but speaking of charging it was charged last Tuesday and it's now on 1 bar so a full charge lasts about a week.

The 7s has a higher resolution display vs the 7, and also has a 3rd camera. Everything else looks pretty much the same : iPhone 7 - Technical Specifications - Apple (CA)

Personally, I have big hands and long fingers so the 7s might be more comfortable for me. Fitting in my pockets is a requirement too of course.

Shall have to get my 8800 back out

@op, the plus has much more available than the 7, faster & better

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, or is it 6? Whatever, the screen is BIG. So I can really rock Angry Birds.

Who does actual work on a cell phone besides answering emails, checking this or that, etc?

[bronco67]

I have a Nexus 6P, and I'm ready for a bigger phone. I didn't think it would happen, but once you get used to a bigger phone it starts to feel small.

That's what she said. :D

Last time I upgraded from the 5S I couldn't decide on 6 or 6 plus but decided to stay small with the 6. This time said fuck it so the 6 is being upgraded to 7 Plus Jet Black 256 GB as screen/camera better. Sure I'll like a bigger device and if it annoys me to travel with extra size can always return it within a couple weeks for a minimal restock fee and go to the 7. So I'm giving the Plus size a shot. Worst case I eat a restock fee and end up with two 7 Plus cases I already ordered to give away. Think the only reason to stay smaller is if you non-stop text message while driving.

[Rochard]

I only use my phone for email, Facebook, news, and a handful of other things. I am not very "productive" on my phone.

I have come across a few articles now calling it 7s, when referring to the Plus. Am I missing something or are people getting a year ahead of themselves?

I just ordered the 7 Plus.

I am used to work on a computer with a 27" screen. On my phone I can just read e-mails but the keyboard is too small to reply comfortably. A tablet is too big to put in a pocket so I am waiting for a phone with a foldable screen like the futur Samsung (?)

So fitting in the pocket is not the reason? Let alone during summer months when you almost drop your phone out of your shorts' pocket

Productive? for real you are counting on your phone to be productive?? You are a slacker that thinks they can do their job remotely if they have a big enough phone screen.

thank you.. I like a 4" to 5.1" phone to serve my needs but I'd never think about being more productive if I just had a 5.5" display

The best phones are the ones that remain OFF while you get work done.

YES! I have beats headphones that I wear when I'm editing video as well as when I'm editing blogs to cut out outside noise. You want to get real work done? shut off your TV and place your phone and tablets in another room while you do real work.

Depends on if you are one of the workers or the person managing the workers in the company. If you are in charge much more of your work is checking on other people and answering emails which can be done on a phone and must be done on the phone because you need to be available around the clock.

So yes the bigger the phone screen the better. I also like to carry around a laptop when possible with a hotspot on my phone in case I have something that needs to be taken care of.

If you do your work on your phone then you need a good phone, other wise get a laptop..

Funny, I used to do that too but spending so much time alone cut off from outside stimulation was turning me into a very weird boy (was?). Now I actually listen to talk radio while working (mostly sports) so at least I hear the sound of other human beings. LOL

Since Sly is a baller this is probably what he means by 'more productive'. I do the same thing, with employees pinging me on Skype and ICQ at all hours. Sometimes my phone feels and sounds like a fucking pinball machine. LOL
