Anyone have any regrets going with a 5.5" phone or bigger?

Picking up a new phone soon. 5.7" seems like the ideal screen size for me but seemed annoyong at times when texting with one hand when you jave to reach the corners with the thumb. Also concerned I might eventually bend it when sitting with it in my pocket at times. Wondering if anyone had any regrets going with a bigger size phone for any reasons or if they adjusted to the bigger size

I have the Nexus 6, which is a 5.9" display. It only took about a month for me to hate the screen size, wayyy too big and I have fairly large hands. Next phone I get, I want 5-5.2" display.

I have the Nexus 6P, which is 5.7. Don't have an issue with the width, but it is a bit too tall for pockets. Will probably go smaller next time. Depends a lot on top and bottom bezel size. New Note 7 looks more manageable from an overall size perspective.

I don't know how those phones fit in your pants pockets

I have a 6+ and I don't see myself going smaller anytime soon.

I have a 6+ as well. Wished I'd gone smaller so I could use it with just one hand and it would fit in my pockets easier.

It is a nice screen but my next one will be smaller.

I have a Nexus 6. The weight actually bugs me more than the size. If I use it long enough at one time, my pinky goes numb.

I know you are looking for a no, but I am a yes, love my 6s+, coming from 5 prior years on Android.

I have the nexus 5x coming from a note 4. I prefer the slightly smaller size.

I have the S7 Edge. I keep buying them, but yes, I think phones are getting too big. I feel like I look like a moron with this giant thing stuck to my face when talking on it.

People love big arse phones though. Just look at the people going nuts over the Note.

5.5 crammed into a small footprint. That is an ideal device. Look at the LG G3 for example. Loved the size of that phone and the screen filled the front with the smallest of bezels. It was perfect.
