"She said it's a nice size!"

Seriously though, it's a bit painful to watch all these folks who KNOW that 5.5" is too big for them for day-to-day use waffling over their decision now that we know the 5.5" comes with a few small extras.

Again those extras are:
  1. Bigger screen – this should go without saying, but it's the accompanying landscape functions that are getting folks to struggle with lugging around an oversized phone. Less of an issue for iPad owners.
  2. Slightly better camera – Really just the stabilization.
  3. Slightly better battery – The battery difference really only shows up when the phone is off, as in standby, music, etc. Otherwise, it's pretty close to the same.

Seriously though, if you want a phablet, then get a phablet. But I wouldn't let the fairly minor differences above dictate your decision. Everyone just get the phone that they'll enjoy the most, deal? :)
