I think that this phone is deceptively small. In the past year I have had a VZW Galaxy Nexus, GSM Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Galaxy S4. I finally now have a Moto X and I believe that this phone feels best in hand if not equal to the Gsm Nexus and realized that larger isn't always a better.

This thing is great to hold and I am pretty sure it will be my ONE phone for the next two years.

(The other half is making sure of that, too :p)
 
I agree. It's funny because I have an HTC Rezound now, which I thought was way too big when I bought it, but now I think it's an ideal size. I've been looking for something similar in size with a bigger screen for quite some time, but all manufacturers were making was bigger and bigger phones with giant screens. I was going to compromise on something like the Nexus 4 or Xperia ZL because they were the best phones I could find without giant dimensions.

Finally the X is revealed and it has the exact same dimensions as my Rezound, length and width, and is a bit thinner, plus has a 4.7" screen. Perfection. Why can't other manufacturers do the same thing? The only other phones with relatively small bezels have ginormous screens. After seeing it in person, I was really amazed they were able to get such a big screen on this phone.

I don't doubt it. The Galaxy Mega was there too and I couldn't even fathom using a phone that big. Honestly, the biggest phone I could probably buy would be the Xperia ZL which I checked out in the Sony Store. It's barely wider, but quite a bit shorter than a Nexus 4, but still has a 5" screen.
