I'm not. My nexus 6 was fun when it was new, but I've kinda grown tired of how enormous it is. I feel like 5.5 would be perfect for me.

I have a 5.2" (Nexus 5X) and I still want something smaller.

I switched from a Z3 Compact to an iPhone SE and the 4" screen is great.

I was starting to think i was the last person alive that wanted this. Please keep making noise. I really hope the next lineup has a 4".

I'm really hoping the 'tock' for the iphone 7 will include an SE version of it

My hope is for an alternating fall/spring release schedule. New flagships for the large and extra large market every September/October, and a new medium sized phone built around the same innards in March/April.

"Small" designation deliberately omitted. That's what I'd call the iPhone 1 through 4S, but it doesn't seem likely that we'll get any new ones.

Exact same situation here. Portability is much more important than an immersive experience for my use. Many people spend a lot more time on their phones than me though. I only use mine when on the move and would much rather be on a laptop once settled.

If Google ever releases a new Nexus 7, that will be the only device with a chance to replace my N6. I couldn't even go down to a 6P size.

I love my N6, and if anything i'm afraid the PixelXL will be too small for me. I take comfort in knowing that the N6 can be a bit cumbersome at times.. despite me loving it, so maybe the XL will be perfect.

I'm not looking forward to stepping down from a Nexus 6 to a smaller screen. But then I'm a 6'3" dude. Phones under 5" screens feel like toys to me now.
