Large phones, at last count, made up about 20 percent of smartphone sales, with about 40 percent of them having been sold in South Korea. So, it’s a little hard to prove that’s where “consumers are going.”


This guy needs new stats. One billion smartphones were sold last year so that would mean 200 million "large phones" with 80 million sold in South Korea.

It has been a few years since I checked, but South Korea was selling about 3 million units a month into a saturated market back then. No chance that they are selling anywhere near 80 million units a year.

Moreover, on the high-end, the non-Apple share is pretty much all large screen handsets. I doubt that there are almost any sales below 4.5" by Apple's high-end competition. With the new S5 screen being 5.1" and the Z2 being 5.2", the average screen size continues to migrate up on the high-end.
