Galaxy Nexus is too big

They are too big. Its like carrying a SUV in your pocket.

A phone should feel comfortable in your hand and be easy to carry in a pocket but Samsung (& HTC) seems to be overcompensating. These feel too big to be phones. Though very impressive when on display, I think Apple is on the right track with their higher density displays.

But the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S still lead the pixel race. Some people say they never notice the PenTile pixel structure but it is just like a stain on a carpet; once you see it, it is hard to disregard.

I don't write or share tech reviews often, nor keep track of the seemingly weekly launches of different Android devices (I do track these topics on my twitter feed @mobilculture). I'm more interested in usage but the direction so many Android devices are taking seems to fit within my topics of Popwuping.
