Well, now as everyone has started the trend of 5.5 inch to 6 inch screen phones, we are not behind others but we are neck to neck with others infact we are leading this with our One hand UI feature .
As the trend is becoming popular with the large screens, sometimes its very difficult to manage the phone specially when you are typing with one hand while walking or if you are having a smaller palm but love the phone with larger screen. This is very well addressed by the Honor developers as they have focused on this mass of people to provide a comfort for them as well to type and use the phone with only one hand with one hand UI feature. Here you can use only one hand to type easily with smaller keayboard on smaller screen (well a virtual screen within your actual 5.5 inch screen). Please refer below screenshots to use this feature.
Go to Setting--> Smart Assistance-->One-Hand UI-->Mini Screen view-->ON
you can also shift the keypad (dialer) on dialer screen to dial a number easily.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the device body is actually even thinner than 11mm. Why? Because the size is usually measured by the thickest part of the device, which in this case is the popping out camera. Think I already mentioned that somewhere...or maybe in another forum, never mind.
You can clearly see on the "Specification" part at the HTC website (picture of side of device) that the camera is the popping out. Just zoom in the picture.
What I just saw and what strenghtens my thought: The website includes the camera in the 11mm! So the "body" could be 10mm or even less.
Here is a zoomed in picture of what I mean. It's from HTC's website, I just added the red line. What do you think?
I'm also wondering why nobody actualy measured the size in any of those previews...

(Yeah, saw that ^^)
Yeah, with emphasis on "so much" ^^
If that device was 18mm thick nobody would've be that much interested. Even with 14mm it would still be unattractive because of its total size.
And even now, people are wondering if the device isn't too big for them. Making it even thinner could resolve those manners.
And maybe there are more people like me who try to imagine what it could feel like to hold that device in the hand, maybe also with building a paper model of it ^^ So 1-2mm thinner device feels a lot more comfortable =)
AND almost every preview compares the thickness, so it IS somehow important. ^^
Agree with Kabakara,
I already built a model from paper
gotta love the thin slim look... I wouldn't have gone HD2 if it was 14mm or thicker..
Most of the reviews I have read have said that the Nexus 10 is meant to be used in landscape mode more so than portrait mode, and that when using it in portrait mode it was somewhat awkward. I generally prefer using tablets in portrait mode for most things.
How bad is it to use this tablet in portrait mode? Does the aspect ratio make it fairly unwieldy to use? I currently have a galaxy tab 10.1 which I have no problem using in portrait mode for reading, playing games, etc. How different will this be?
It won't be any different for you if you already like it.
What they meant (probably) was that unlike phones and the Nexus 7, Portrait mode is the main position you hold them in and you'll feel 100% comfortable because of their size. Where as Nexus 10 is a bigger tab that will make it a bit uncomfortable for some users when they use it on portrait as it was designed for landscape.
It is not a tablet specific thing, more of a size + general feel.
Almost all tablets and laptops are designed for widescreen use because that is the best for viewing media and multi-tasking and even the iPhone is now widescreen which leaves the iPad even more of an oddity.
Also on the Nexus 10 with it's super high resolution screen you should be able to see the whole width of any Web page without the need to scroll horizontally on landscape and just need to scroll down for very long Web pages the same way as on a high resolution laptop.
Personally, I'd argue that with the vertically-linear way websites tend to be laid out, with only one small column that you really care about and the rest just being ads, menus or other random links, 'tall screen' is the way to go for web browsing. Look at any forum on the internet, and I bet you'll find that there's a column in the middle of the page containing the actual posts of the thread and whatnot, and that you'll never really care about what's next to that stuff. But that's probably going to be awkward to use.
They just mean that skinny tablets look awkward on portrait mode

Hey all
Lets take a first look at the Galaxy Note Edge. With Samsung showing off its curved displays recently, they've now applied it to a Smartphone. It's a very interesting concept, the right edge of the screen wraps around the device, giving an extra strip of screen along the edge. This can be used for a multitude of things, from Email/SMS notifications to multimedia control and some application shortcuts. Samsung is also releasing a SDK for developers, this could prove to be a very sensible move, as at present 3rd party apps will not be able to make use of the extra screen real estate. Really looking forward to what our great developers can do with this:good::highfive:
The screen is the Note Edge's stand-out feature, as under the hood is essentially a Galaxy Note 4 with a slightly reduced battery capacity (3,000 mAh rather than 3,220 mAh) due to the screen restricting space. The display itself is a 1,600 x 2,560 pixels, 524ppi affair, so puts it right up with the best displays available at present. A breakdown of specifications for both devices can be found in the [SPECS]Galaxy Note Edge and [SPECS]Galaxy Note 4 threads.
I'm very keen to get hands on with this device, the curved display really appeals. We're yet to see if it will be taken up by app developers, but if it does it could prove to be a killer feature. For some, especially if left handed, the experience may not be a great one, as the strip will be on the wrong side of the device. Samsung has addressed this by hinting it may allow the screen orientation to be flipped, so as long as the home button being at the top is workable, the problem should be solved to an extent. Looking forward to members thoughts on this possible ground breaking design:good:

Screen Problem
HI everyone!
I am experiencing the typical LCD property, that it changes colours when pressing it with pressure. I am worried about it because I don't have to press it too hard to make it change colours (Im coming from a Amoled screen). All of this woudn't be a problem, if in some spots, where the screen is the weakest, the whites are brighter, especially noticable when scrolling in the settings. Does anyone experiencing this problem?
Reminds me of a problem I had with my large screened huawei devices, where part of the frame or battery behind the screen would press up against and dent the metal shield behind the LCD, causing a permanent white spot. It was super annoying. I'll have to be extra careful not to let this happen with my idol 3...

I've got two spots like that on my screen. It's very annoying when scrolling a page with white background. Sometimes makes me want to sell the phone.

Me also, white spot on screen... I'm starting to hate this phone, scrolling thru the apps is terrible also, it's to sensitive compared to other phones
just bought an Idol 3 yesterday from Cricket for $109, so far it's a very nice
phone for the price. it feels like a much more expensive phone in your hand !
look forward to rooting it !

I know it sounds like a pretty stupid question, but I'm just curious, why are the top and bottom bezels so big? One of the things I liked the most about my nexus 6 were the small bezels , the nexus 6p has iphone style kind of bezels (which are huge :/ ) and it looks bigger than the nexus 6 (which as a bigger screen)... yes it has stereo speakers, but so did the nexus 6 ! and the battery size is not huge, smaller bezels would have made the device more manageable, huawei made it work with the mate 8 , tiny bezels and a 4000 mah battery, I just drool thinking about it, I would give up the stereo speakers ANY day and trade it for something like that, I barely use them, I use headphones all the time and my phone is mute all the time (except for calls) :/
Well I certainly don't see this as a stupid question as I was wondering the same after I had received my Nexus 6p. I supppose larger bezels are established on larger internal components but I could be wrong.
because they don,t have the choice.

and, I like the fact the bezel is a little bit big. Because when i'm holdint it with one hand, my palm almost touch the screen.
Try lighting up Mate 8's screen, you will be scared by the amount of actual bezels around it in all directions. That's the magic of faux-zero-bezel, lying to you in press images and renders. Huawei is just being honest with you with the Nexus 6P.
Also, considering the addition of dual front speakers, it ain't too big in my opinion - see HTC for reference.

In order to fit a larger battery in the phone they needed to position components at the top and bottom of the device.
