In the modern smartphone world (U.S. more-so), bigger is better. It seems each flagship device tries to one-up the device before it with an ever-so-slightly larger display. The largest “phone” to date is Samsung’s 5″ Note (aka: “Phablet”). While it’s uses are best suited towards content consumption such as videos and games as well as content creation by way of various artistic apps and the included stylus, for normal day-to-day use,...

Thank you Eric Schmidt! While the former Google CEO gave a rather boring MWC keynote, he did manage to slip in a few juicy details about future plans for Android.
