Samsung is coming up with bigger screens yet again. The company is launching two models with 6.3 and 5.8 inches screens which are collectively called Galaxy mega. The mega series is targeted to users who want bigger screens with decent (if not the best) processing power as compared to the high end Samsung devices. While many blame the company for lack of innovation, it has created an inflation of screen size in the android market since it launched the galaxy note. Is there another round of screen explosion waiting this year? What good will it do, to android app developers?

The perfect size-

As far as screen size is concerned a website called phondog.com features a poll for the perfect screen size. According to that, although 52% say a screen size of 4.3-4.8 is ideal; people show an affinity towards a 5 incher phone as well. Sadly, the website does not provide an option for 6.3 inches. Thus it may be clearly seen that although people consider a 3.5 inch screen to be small now, their likability towards a screen size decreases as it goes beyond 4.8 inches. Given that, the idea of a 6.3 inch screen would not stand a good chance. As fitting a 5 inch in pocket is a difficult task, the mobility factor of a 6+ screen could be a deal breaker.

An alternate Point of View-

Android app developers have seen the perception of people changing withy galaxy note. The standard size benchmark of a 3.5 screen is no more an axiom. Can we expect user perception to brace even larger screens yet again? May be the current idea of 4.5 inch being perfect might increase by another 1 inch after the mega series become successful in the market.

Introduction of bigger screens is exciting as it gives users a lot of freedom to enjoy mobile internet on the go. But at the same time the uncertainty of the maximum screen size still remains under evolution.
