the Honor 9N is the only smartphone in the budget range to feature a display notch with a 19:9 aspect ratio display (until Xiaomi announces the Mi A2 Lite); if you are still into display notches that is.

Honor 9N does look like doppelganger of the Huawei P20 Lite. It’s hard to tell between the two smartphones until you look at the logo on the bottom chin, below the 19:9 display. That 19:9 aspect ratio 5.84-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display is covered with 2.5 D glass just like on the P20 Lite.

The same can said about the 13 MP + 2 MP camera setup where the ZenFone offers a bit more with a 13 MP + 5 MP camera.

Most of the replies are these copy paste lines which will stop when the contest is over.

So, do you guys look at the dimensions of a smartphone when making a purchasing decision? Do you prefer your devices to be lightweight or have some heft about them? Let your thoughts be known below.

Yes, it is one of my top priorities. No matter how good the phone is, if it is big, I just avoid it because I know that I won't be able to use it with one hand. I'm even finding my S8 a bit bigger than I would like, but it's not that I have a good option. Sony & Pixel are expensive & lack headphone jack. I'm not sure if I would even find a suitably sized phone for myself after two years when I'm looking to change my current phone.

Honor 9N is surely a good choice for people looking for a compact phone under 15k. It was unchallenged until Xiaomi released Redmi 6 Pro.

That's the thing, nobody asked for that stupid screen cutout and still Honor 9N has it.

Wait and hope Palm has a comeback and makes good phones then.

Was not a fan of it & don't have much hope from Palm.

I think there's a better chance that Sony might make a comeback with good devices. They have been kind of disappointing after Z5 & the first X series. Or Samsung doesn't increase the physical size of phones further or in fact reduces it a bit, at least for non plus version.

Razer and Essential making a VFM phone which doesn't suck has better chances of Sony's comeback. They are slowly dying out because of their own arrogance, ignorance and pricing strategy.
Samsung won't increase the size too much hopefully.

Razer's target audience is different & I don't find gaming phones useful, at least for myself. I'd rather buy a proper flagship.

I checked out Essential phone recently when a friend of mine bought it for $250. At that price, its a steal for sure. I would say, a launch price of $500 last year would have helped it a lot, instead of $750 which they chose. Even today,
I would say that the phone is a good buy for $350 or at max $400. It's still unclear if they will release a second phone & have a future.

Regd. Samsung, even I think that the normal S phones won't increase in size, let's see what S10 will be.
