Why did you buy a big phone? (programming.dev)

Just finished watching MKBHD's video "Small Phones are Dead and We Killed Them" yt indivio

I'm wondering, why is it that people buy big phones. Is it a conscious decision? Something that just unconsciously happened while selecting a phone? A lack of choice? What?

Currently running a Unihertz Jelly Star. I keep a tablet in my backpack if I really need screen real estate

Unihertz Jelly Star

What's the battery life like?

Depends on the day, I had SnapChat installed for a bit and it was maybe 5 hours with moderate use, sending pictures, listening to music or audio books. Without SnapChat and really only using for calls, messages, light web browsing, and audio things I can manage at least 12 hours. If it's a day where I'm not listening to much it makes it easily from getting out of bed to going to bed
