Glad people are excited, but I don’t care for the trend towards larger and larger phones. If there was a rumor putting a 4.7” screen in a smaller body then I’d be getting excited.
I’ve pretty much abandoned my desktop for most things and use my iPad and iPhone so I like the extra room. I saw a "comparison" somewhere showing the X+ being only a smidgen larger than the 8+.
I hear you though. Many just want mainly a phone that easily fits in a pocket and doesn’t pull your pants down around your ankles. A smaller alternative would be welcome and IMO a good seller.
