Bigger smartphones are a big problem for smaller hands – Part 3

These smartphones with smaller screens might be of low specs as compared to gigantic HTC Ones and Samsung Galaxy Notes, these are nothing to sneeze at. In fact, Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product innovation for Samsung Mobile, told me in an interview that the specifications on these devices are better than the top of the line devices introduced a year ago.

“The phones with the bigger form factor are the ones getting most of the attention right now,” he said. “But there are plenty of great smartphones with better specifications than you could get a year ago in the mid-range.”

The upcoming range of smaller phones with the likes of HTC One V and Galaxy S Blaze in the loop is cannot be called low-spec phones, They are as bigger and spec-ier as the current range is.

For instance, the Samsung Blaze does have a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor and 5-megapixel camera. But it’s being released with Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread instead of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

However, Harlow’s statement might give us hope that the latter half of 2012 might see more sparked handsets. “We’re continuing to look at offering different size phones and screens,” she said.
