(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The announcement of the iPhone 5 is still the hot topic in the smartphone industry. One of its most notable features is the increase in the size of the screen, from 3.5 to 4-inches. It raises the question if the larger screen will make the device harder to use and operate in one hand.

For portable, handheld devices, the current generation of Android devices are extremely large. Sure, the larger screen has its benefits, such as a better movie and gaming experience. However, the large screen makes operating the device in one hand a nightmare: constantly having to re-adjust your grip so your thumb can reach the entire screen.

With that being said, the iPhone 5's screen size has been increased and some technology enthusiasts came to the immediate conclusion that the device would be uncomfortable to use. It will still be smaller than its Android competitors and I am predicting a comfortable experience. Potential iPhone 5 buyers can rest assured, knowing Apple always is aiming for the best possible experience for fans. The decision to increase the screen size would have been thoroughly tested and evaluated, before being approved.

I have a arc S but i like Sony products but i bet the S3 is class...I don't think i'd like a iphone if i had one. The only thing that sells it is the brand and bragging rights to the people who have blackberries.

the iphone 5 looks just like a stretched 4s, not sure which one to buy :s

The longer screen is odd at first, however the device is just as easy and comfortable to hold in your hand. The new higher quality camera is a great addition.

Good luck in making your decision!
