I was so into big phones, but then..

The more I think about the heft and size with the Nexus 6 makes me having second thoughts. A coworker offered me his N5 yesterday on the cheap. That gives me Lollipop and less cash outlay so maybe I will do that.
I lost count of my Android smartphones. You only live once and I guess I can alternate devices daily.

Alpha lag test
Proof is in the pudding

No lag here - though i overshot the capacitive buttons a few times trying to look through an iPhone to see what i was doing / pressing.

Wow, I don't know what Samsung did with the Alpha, it looks silky smooth. It apperas to be snappier than my 2013 Moto X (which is the smoothest Android phone I've used)
Thanks for sharing!
Sounds incredibly humiliating if you're one who worries about what others think. One who's being closely watched and judged by your peers.
Perhaps holding any Smartphone other than the diminutive iPhones of the past is just too embarrassing.
Luckily small iPhones are waiting for you. Seems to be a very easy solution.
OR it could be more to do with the fact he doesn't want to get caught and in trouble for using his phone in class! Did you think of that as a reason at all? Rather than assume he's embarrassed to use a big phone.
We do know that these Apple fanboys like to regurgitate the same nonsense that anything that is not iphone will lag. Don't blame them though, as they have nothing else in hand to show how the iphone is better.
Falling in love with iOS just as the FINALLY released a phablet? Honestly the 6+ is the reason I went back to the iPhone. Not because I think iOS is particularly better, or because I think the iPhone hardware is superior to what Android OEM's are offering. But honestly I just wanted to give the iPhone another try since they finally have a big enough display on the iPhone for my liking. However I do understand that not everyone wants to carry around a smaller tablet as their smartphone and primary device. However, I on the other hand, think the added functionality of a larger display far outweighs the benefits of one handed operation.
However for the sake of pleasing everyone, I hope that companies continue to make smaller flagship devices with bleeding edge specs like they're doing for their larger counterparts.
Thank you, Apolloa.
It's not that I don't love phablets (honestly I love mine) but it's the fact that I don't want it to be so obvious I'm using it in class. When my iPhone 4s was in use, I could easily use the dictionary on it easily. But now, I have to look down at my phone every time I want to type someone because the keyboard is just that big.
Maybe in future it would be just better to educate yourself with facts rather than post uneducated nonsense and act both immature, arrogant & self opinionated.
Critiscm where critiscm is deserved is one thing, but trolling inacutate statements is just pathetic ...
It also makes it hard for readers to take any of your posts or opinions seriously in future if you are showing on one hand a level of both idiocy and ignorance.

I have tried the Alpha several times with the Snapdragon at different stores. Never pulled the trigger, bloat and memory management is not close to comparable with the Nexus 5 I picked up yesterday.
Your welcome
I figured that was your reason. Have you thought anymore about a smaller phone? I would keep your 1 One as that is still a rare device. I definitely want a Sony Xperia Compact, may wait till next year for the Z4 version if Sony still make them, if not then I'll grab a Z3 for a good price. My pockets can't be doing with a phablet.Your welcome
Yeah,I'm still thinking about the compact. Maybe next year I'll get a compact or something along the lines of that,maybe a refurbished 5S?
