Then again, most of the phones available today would have been classed
as 'phablets' by the press ten years ago. The fact that bezels around
the screen have all but vanished in newer designs makes them look a
little less silly pressed against the ear -- but they are huge compared
with older phones. I remember upgrading from a 4.3" Sony thing to a Moto
G4 Play and thinking the Moto enormous with its 5" screen, but you're
hard pressed to find an Android phone below 6" these days.

5" phones fit in a shirt pocket. 6" phones almost do. 6.4" (typical
modern phone size) do NOT. That's why the yoof of today have their
phones surgically grafted to their hands.
