Wouldn't it be better to just, y'know, cut out the free space around it?

    Unfortunately a lot of hardware doesn't fit into small phones yet. You can still get small Androids, but no NFC, wireless charging, fingerprint sensor, etc..

    I'm writing this on a Samsung S10e, which is the smallest waterproof one with all the nice features I could get at the time. I can do most things one-handed, but need the one-handed mode to reach the 30% of the screen in top corner furthest away from my thumb. pic related:

    I love big phones though. Smaller ones feel too claustrophobic to me

    Also, from a usabity point of view, bigger screens are better for watching videos in landscape, editing text and it's easier to use the gestures and the keyboard (I don't even have fat fingers). I think only downside is ring and pinky fingers hurting after a while because of the weight
