Is it just me or is this phone just too big?

My previous phone was a nexus s. The usb port died and Samsung said it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get it back repaired.
I went to my carrier to see what kind of phone I could get cheap and in the end I got an iphone 4s thinking I could sell it once I got my nexus back and make a little money. After a week with the iphone I was going nuts. Everything seemed to take twice as long to do, going in and out of apps. I guess I got used to real multitasking with ics on my nexus s.
Anyway, I sold the iphone and bought a galaxy nexus off someone for 480 CAD thinking I could sell the nexus s once I got it back. Now I have been using it for about a week now and for some reason it just doesn't feel quite right in my hands. I am still waiting for the case I ordered maybe that will make it feel a little better in the hand but right now it actually feels like my hand is getting tired from holding it. I find myself having to keep changing positions just to use the phone.
I love the massive screen, but I am wondering if this trend of making phones bigger and bigger is not the best idea or will I end up adjusting to it? I know when I was looking something up on my friends iphone today I kept thinking, Holy crap this thing is way too small.

I adjusted to it rather easily. Granted there are times when you realize that the phone is big, sometimes I find that it 'rests' on my pinky finger while I am holding it and making acrobatics to hit the top row or notification bar with my thumb, but once I used it for a while, I fell in love with the size.
You don't interact with your phone frequently, the most frequent activities that you are doing - like texting or answering calls - is still very easy despite the screen size. Other activities, like games and video content, is much better on that screen. And browsing benefits immensely.
So I think it's the right call. It's not the ideal size, I would not mind if it was slightly smaller, but I'm finding it difficult to use anything that's as small as my previous phone these days (I used HTC Desire).

Buying a case will only make it alittle bit bigger from my experience ...my hands are large...I love my phone...though a gel case will help from slipping from the rubber grip I suppose..

At first I thought it would be too big, but after using it a little bit it felt perfect.
Sometimes I cant hit buttons on the other side of the screen when using one hand, but that isn't too often.
Other phones are too small for me now.

I didn't want to upgrade my NS when they announced GN because I think it's too big for a phone.
Last week I played with the live unit on a shop..and walked away with GN in my pocket, you'll get used to it. It's better for browsing and reading as you have additional screen estate.
There are of course times when you need to do "aerobatic thumbing" but you'll get over it eventually ^_^

Yeah, the G Nex is a bit too wide. Width-wise, I think the Rezound is perfect imo. Too bad it's too thick and runs Sense.

at least its not as wide as the galaxy s ii. That thing is ridiculous.....
I personally think the width of the nexus is perfect. I thought the phone was actually a little too light and nearly flew out of my hand several times. That changed once I got the extended battery.

Not as wide as the SGS2? It's at least as wide, if not wider, side by side.. I had one before this and the Nexus is bigger than SGS2.
As for Nexus, it's very big, but just about acceptable to me lol. Feels better in hand than SGS2 though

I came from a Thunderbolt so it wasn't a huge adjustment for me. I personally thought the size of Thunderbolt was great after being on Nexus One before that. Now with this phone, I feel THIS is now the perfect size
To each his/her own I guess.

To answer your thread title, it's just you

When I got my HD2 I came from a HTC Diamond, a very petite phone. I thought the HD2 was huge but I soon adjusted to it. Then after porting Android to it before flashing to NAND was 'the thing' I got a Desire, love, love, love that phone. I swapped it for a Desire HD when they were released and I realized the bulk of a 4.2" phone was a bit over the top, hated the DHD, sold it and kept the Desire for about 22 months.
I bought the Nexus Prime 3 weeks or so ago, and I am wondering now, if 4.65" is too small!

My Galaxy Nexus is small for me. Because I had been using an iPad as a temporary phone (Not that I make/receive calls anyway)when my HD2 was broken..

When i went from the Sensation to the G.Nexus the Nexus did feel a bit big in my hand as you say. To start with it tired my hand a bit too, you'll get used to it though, if you have big hands that is

The bigness is far less of a problem than the slipperyness!
This phone is very, very slippery. I have almost dropped it SEVERAL times. I am waiting on an Incipio Feather case to prevent this--my Nexus S was also very slippery, but being smaller was easier to hold onto. This phone is large enough that the combination of size and slipperiness makes it very hard to hold onto with one hand.
My hands aren't tiny, but they aren't large either. They're a bit larger than other women I know, but not near the big ol' paws a lot of my guy friends have. They have a lot easier time holding my phone, but they still tell me it's slippery and hard to hold onto.
The Feather doesn't really add much in the way of protection, but it doesn't add hardly any bulk at all and gives a much grippier surface to more easily hold the device.
Edit: This would be an even bigger problem if I didn't use ADW.Launcher EX. With my swipe-down gesture set to open the notification shade, having to contort my hand to reach across the 4.65" display is far less common.

Man i miss swipe down for notifications... I do love the ICS launcher though...so ill stick with it a little while longer.....

Is this long enough? can i switch now?

The phone feels a lot better in hand with the extended batter cover. It feels very weird with the standard battery cover.

Coming from an iPhone 4, it was a tad awkward at first, however I got used to it fairly quickly. Sometimes have to jiggle the phone a little in my hand in order to get my thumb to the power button but I've gotten used to doing that. Feels natural to hold now and my case for the phone has excellent grip on it.

The only time I think to myself that it's too big is when I have to hit the back button at the top-left of an app (which is rarely, fortunately). I have small hands and reaching that spot is a real pain

I'm 14 with normal size hands for my age and I think its the perfect size, kinda wish it was bigger

It's just right.
By the way, there is a Galaxy Nexus Q&A forum for questions like this. To your defense, most of the topics in the general forum are questions even though posters rarely choose to use question marks or ask the question in the title.

How big does the nexus feel in your hand?

Im thinking of getting it but im wondering how big does it feel? Like compared to a 4.5" screen phone or 4.3" phone?
I know its a 4.65" screen but i know a goof portion of the bottom is used for the keys.

Feels pretty good in hand honestly.

Depends on the size of your hand...
I personally don't have a problem holding it about 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I feel like I'm going to drop it because I'm walking down the street and trying to do something pretty involved one handed.

How big..? xD
it's normal, it feels good on my hand without cases, but with cases it fells not nice but it stays then much better..
when I use my Samsung jet or ZTE Blade then Galaxy nexus feels pretty big sometimes..

That is a pretty relative question, but mine feels pretty good in my hand. It is not a tiny phone by any means, but that is offset by my case.
It has a kickstand through which I slip a finger to walk around with the phone in my hand instead of a pocket.
It FEELS bigger than my old DX, but feels better at the same time. /shrug

OK so here's my experience with the magical Nexus.
Yes at first, (came from a LG Versa & iPod Touch) it felt and looked big.
But if u saw the presentation, they made the Bezel(side) so thin so it wouldn't feel so big.
And what do u know. It feels natural in the hand and in turn, I could never pick up a device that is smaller then 4.2" in screen size.
Now here is one thing for sure.
It will feel big in your pocket. I wear skinny Jeans and man this thing looks big in my front pocket and forces me to put it in my pocket when standing up. When I sit down it goes in my front pocket.
So that is my experience.

I find it about perfect for my medium sized hands. It's not that much bigger than an I9100, and because of its shape (very slight curve) it feels better in pocket. I wouldn't want to go much bigger however. All things considered it's likely a touch smaller than other 4.65" phones (if there are others that use physical keys as opposed to soft keys).
The first thing I did when I bought mine was do the "pocket test", i.e. how does it feel in the front pocket of my jeans. As I said the very slight curve does make a big difference, it's not a brick in your pocket and I find it feels smaller than my SGSII did.

Feels like a relatively small phone to me compared to the One X and Note I had previously. lol

Feels smaller than the i9100. More comfortable for sure, with the more rounded corners, but I sure as heck can't reach the top of the screen with one hand. That sorta sucks, but i'm not really the kinda person to walk around with it out in my hands.

well the phone is the size of my hand so it feels a bit big, but its lightweight. Its not really a big deal though because I carry a purse. So as long as you don't have tiny hands like me, you should be fine.

The only answers you're going to get are completely subjective. 'Feels good in the hand' statements in reviews are always a little silly because anything like that is completely up to the individual holding the object. It's best to try the device out yourself.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I have a lot of trouble hitting the upper left corner of the screen when holding it with my right hand. I do love this phone though.

I had a Motorola Droid X before my Gnex and it doesnt feel that much bigger. The screen is awesome though, much more detail obviously and since the screen goes close to the edges, its not really that much bigger of a phone.
You wont regret it

hm... this is the kinda thing that bugs me, on my iphone i had no problem with this...
Ive had a skyrocket ( which i sold ) thats a 4.5" screen and it was somewhat hard to get to the top left, i guess its kinda of phablet thing lol

just got a Galaxy Nexus. Coming from the Samsung Infuse, which is a big phone in itself (4.5" screen). The Nexus just feels better in hand, imho. Whether it's beveled edges, curved glass, it just feels better.
As mentioned by someone else, I currently don't have a case on it,but one is on the way. Will be interested to see how it feels then.

Normal, though its size its spoiling me(dat screen)

I came to the Nexus from a Charge (4.3") and was nervous about the slightly bigger Nexus. Comparing them side by side the Nexus is the same width and only slightly taller. Overall not too bad.

[Q] screen size

does anyone think the 5.5 inch screen of the at&t galaxy note II is too big for a phone? cause i want this tablet/phone but kinda worry about this being too big in my pockets compared to the S III or other smart phones.

i had the note 1..... as for size you will get use to it in a couple of days....as for pockets i agree its not pocket friendly well as for me its ok but you can feel it in your pocket big time.. depends on what kind of jeans/pocket size you have/wear everyone is different.. my GS3 fits nice in my pocket i think that the good size limit for me.. note can be fitted in most pockets..unless you wear very tight skinny jeans.. i miss the note.:silly: i want note 2:victory: but i will pay a full price due to GS3 just got months ago...
give the note 2 a try when it comes out..see if it fits your needs..you can always return it back before 30 days just dont get it damage..

SIze? Nope. I'd use a tablet for a phone, except that I don't think I can fit it in my pockets very well. As for Note 2 fitting in your pockets, it'll fit no problem. You could probably fit 2-6 in your pockets no problem...at least in my pockets. Mine are wide enough to fit a 2 litre soda bottle no problem though haha. They're like the Tardis.

unless you are an emo black skin tight jeans, it should fit in your pockets. general size it's big but you get used to it. when not in your pocket, put on table infront of you?

I carry a Google nexus 7 in my pocket. Guess it depends on your pants...

It is too big for some, but you'd be surprised how pocketable it is. All my friends are.
I HIGHLY suggest making a mockup out of cardboard (just leave the corners square), and testing out your pants.
That's what I did before I ordered the first Note.

[Q] Talk me out of buying a Galaxy S III

I am currently a Nexus One owner, and I am looking at the Galaxy S III (T-Mobile, USA).
I already know a lot about the hardware. The fact that it has an sdcard slot and replaceable battery really sold me.
I have a pretty good idea of why I like the device, based on the specs.
Now, you guys talk me out of it. What problems are there? What are the flaws? I bet I can learn a lot from what you owners have to say.
I would be looking at the dark blue color, since I can't get black. My carrier is T-Mobile USA. The first thing I would do is root it and install the most stable Cyanogenmod nightly I can get.
I've heard that replacing the front screen is very difficult, and thus breaking my screen would be very expensive (unlike my Nexus One, where I can replace the digitizer for $35, and I have, twice).
I like the size of my Nexus One, and I am not fond of these huge Android phones, because I carry it in my front pants pocket.
I've heard that the S III is somewhat fragile and breaks easily. Is there any truth to this?

1) Flaws and problems - It's not free, that's both a flaw and a problem.
2) Don't break your screen. Don't break your screen. Don't break your screen.
3) It's not that big, you get used to it.

Well the only flaw i see is on stock touchwiz that battery can randomly plumet and leave u with a 4 to 6 hour battery life instead of 12 to 16 hours that i normally get with about 3h screen on time ^^ but if you are going with cm the u don't have to worry other than that you get used to the size and i can't really say there has been a flaw with mine i have dropped it only twice but it wasn't that hard of a drop so i can't tell you how durable it is. One of thing i disliked was the button placement of the power and volume rocker it's pretty hard not to accidentally hit volume up or down while locking and unlocking the phone but as time goes you grow a accustomed to it. And then i learned that all Samsung devices pretty much have the same button placement even old dumb phones have it like that.

Can you explain how the S2 is better than the S3??

The thin profile makes it a lot easier to carry in your pocket than you might think.
From everything I've see, do NOT break your screen it's not a pleasant replacement on these phones.
I came from a HTC Sensation and I'm a little blown away at how snappy the phone is. The only minor gripe I have is I don't particularly like pentile matrix screens but of those, the high resolution of the SGS3 makes up for it a little.
Otherwise, it's a great phone. Styling is subjective, but the curved edges make the phone feel smaller in your hand. Another observation was that for me it was so thin and slippery I was worried about dropping it. Ended up putting a skinomi skin on the battery cover and it works well for me.

The only reason I could see for not upgrading from the nexus to the s3 is possibly waiting another 4-5 months to get the s4 whenever it is released, but that might not be until next summer for all anybody knows. IMO the only phone equal to the s3 is the note2, but since you said you don't like big phones the note is definitely not a good choice.

No negatives. Best phone ever. Especially with all the great devs here. Buy it. U won't regret it.

This phone is fantastic. I came from an original Galaxy S so I had to get used to an "actual" button for home, but it didn't take long.
I would seriously suggest ev1lart's Wicked rom series tho. Stupid long battery life and ridiculous community support.
There are a hundred "toughness tests" out there with various results. I would just be careful regardless. It's a $500 phone! Regardless of what you pay for it, something of value should merit some caution I would hope. Regardless, I put a simple Diztronic case on it and it's survived every 2 to 4 foot drop it's had. The case also improves the grip, as it's pretty slick and thin to begin with.
Good luck man. It really is the king phone right now as far as I'm concerned.

BUY TWO!!!

If you carry your phone in the pocket... why don't you use belt loop case? I have never dropped out scratched my phone using that. S3 is a big phone, way too big for any pocket.

Mine fits fine in PJ pants, athletic shorts, jean shorts, casual work pants, and suit pants. I'm 6'1" but I don't think that'd make my pockets substantially bigger.. I don't have my phone in a case though, just a sunglass bag.

Broke my Nexus 4, is the Note 2 right for me?

Sucks that I have to make this thread but here it goes.
So my month long Nexus 4 experience came to a very sad conclusion. When I received it, it was the best phone I'd ever used. The stock android Nexus experience was incredible. 7 days in, I had a bike accident, and the nexus 4 broke it's back. I didn't really blame it's fragile nature because it was an exceptional condition. Then yesterday, it fell just 18 inches off a chair, face down, inside a Rearth Ringke case...aand it's screen cracked.
I used to defend the Nexus 4 a lot, but I have realized that it's a bit too fragile for someone who expects modern smartphones to survive 1.5 foot falls at least.
Anyway, so now I'm in a situation where I can buy one of my friends two phones off him, both are just 10 day old so as good as new.
a) S3
b) Note 2
Obviously the Note 2 is a better phone, but I'm just concerned about the size.
1. How was your experience with the Note 2 at first? Was the size an inconvenience? Did you adapt eventually? How long did it take?
2. Any issues with Touchwiz? I'm coming from a Nexus, remember.
3. Are there too many broken screen issues with the Note 2 as well (Like there are with the nexus)? How's the durability in general?
If 1. is an issue then I'll probably go for the S3.

Sad to hear about your n4. I say go for the note 2. It may seem a bit too big at first but soon you get comfortable with it and other phones seem small . About touchwiz its come a long way from what it used to be. I used to hate tw as it used to make phones look waaay outdated but now after using the note 2 I dont know how im gonna do without it its just amazing and makes life so much easier with its functions.

Yeah there are such cases for every phone but it's the frequency of cases in the N4 that's worrying.
Hmm yeah that's what I've heard, that you tend to get used to the 5.5 inch screen after a while.

1. Took me about half a day to adapt from my Nokia N8.
2. It's probably easier to use than stock Android. All stock features are there so, I guess not.
3. The plastic looks/feels cheap, but it's very durable in my experience. Also, both the SGS3/SGN2 have Gorilla Glass 2, which is the most durable screen glass out there. Unless you're talking about Nokias (My N8 once came out from under a quad bike I was riding without a scratch).

Droped it from 1.5 m today and he survived.

Most guys here will advice you to get the Note 2 but the fact is the Note 2 is pretty fragile and a lot of people here have also reported cracked screens from small heights. The note 2 is an excellent device but it has to be used with care. If you can be more careful then it should do you well otherwise just go for something more rugged like a Sony Experia Z or HTC One X+. The S3 is almost as fragile as the Note 2 but does fit quite comfortably in the hand in comparison to the Note 2. Also I had the S3 and because it was easy to use with one hand and easily fit the pockets I never dropped it. I've already dropped the Note 2 twice trying to use it with one hand, fortunately It was lucky enough not to have suffered a cracked screen.
Sent from the rabbit hole.

I came from HTC Desire HD using custom ROM with plain vanilla JB 4.1.2. SO I was used to stock JB. Getting used to Note II was no problem. It is such a wonderful phone, I love ti. It is bigger but I got used to it. Touch Wiz is a bit ugly, but pretty practical and has good visability. As I'm older I prefer visibility over "design"
Yes, it feels fragile, especially for me coming from Desire HD which had ALUMINIUM UNIBODY, but it is so light and you can keep it in your shirt pocket. I wouldn't drop it though But this doesn't mean anything, it is just the feel we have towards something. I had DHD for 2 years, and it fell frm my shirt pocket when I was bowling, just landed on it's back or screen flat. I also had a silicon cover for it. And it died! No screen broken, nothing, but it died. And DHD has one of the sturdiest bodies of all phones. So maybe that doesn't mean anything. Maybe plastic is better fit to survive the falls. I'm planing on getting a cover for Note 2 though, since I'm afraid it might slip from my hand, and I think I'll get this one: SAMSUNG EFC-1J9FW, since I have similar (flip open) for my N7 and it is just great.
