Apple gave in . As every other smartphone balloon , lend column inch upon column inch , birthing the horror realm of the phablet , the iPhone stood its ground at 3.5 inches — the world ’s serious phone was still heavyset . Not anymore ! And that ’s sad .
People want freehanded telephone , whether that ’s a honest matter or not , and so , by God , Apple gave them what they require so it can make money . The iPhone 5 is reluctantly heavy , stretching upward a bit rather than add girth . It ’s a subtle growth — and it remains to be see whether the iPhone ’s erstwhile hold - ability has been muddled — but you could flatly say the iPhone is n’t small anymore . Four inches is now the service line — the unexampled small is n’t little at all . And that means there is n’t a undivided good actually small phone left hand .
Browse the smartphone offering of the major cell carriers looking for a cover smaller than four inches , and behold the lowest pit of hell . Every single choice is dire . Every . individual . One . Even type their figure is a tragedy : the ZTE Fury , the Kyocera Rise , the Pantech Marauder . These are the headphone you resent AT&T giving you for free after you drop your real speech sound in the crapper . Some of them are n’t even barren . But if you want a thickset phone , this is the future ; the iPhone 4 and 4S are available for now , but soon they ’ll go the way of the 3GS . And we ’ll be left with these plastic stillbirth .
What you see below are literally the only non - old - Apple smartphones usable under four inches on Sprint , Verizon , and AT&T. If you do n’t desire a big phone , these are your only option . And every option is bad .
The Torch is one of the worst phones ever made , and the other two are throwaway , generic Android duds .
It ’s hard to reckon at these . You ’d be better off not using a phone . Although the 3 - column inch Milano is approachingadorable Veer soil . With none of its charm .

The HTC Trophy is credibly the least bad of these bad phones , but one of the bad ways you could peradventure inscribe the Windows Phone human beings . The G - Force Commando Squad or whatever it ’s called is the phone they give you in the army if you ’ve been bad .
Torch , no . Pantech , no . sometime - ass Android , no .
Everything above is regretful — don’t countenance the pleasant composition fritter away you . We should ’ve labeled these with Comic Sans or Baskerville or some shit . All of these phones have horrid , humiliated - resolution screens . They ’re slow . They mostly run dinosaur versions of Android — which scales terribly to modest screen — and will never , ever be upgrade . They ’re ugly . They ’re tiresome . Some are made by brands I would n’t trust to build a wooden spoon . They ’re afterthoughts . And once the 4 and 4S are off shelves , it ’ll only be this kind of lobotomized smartphone junk that ’s left fitting neatly in your hand , filling up that lovely 3.5 - inch space the iPhone once typify .
So you better get used to big screens or get larger hand , because unless you want a regretful phone , your next phone ’s cash in one’s chips to be a fully grown earphone .
