But see the Note in the flesh and you'll notice one thing above all else: its massive 5.3-inch display.
The screen is positively gigantic. Comically huge to the point of shame. Closer to a tablet than a phone, the Note dwarfs the iPhones and Droids around it. Hold it up to your face to make a call and everyone around you laughs. Seriously, it never gets old.

But it's just too big. The Galaxy Note's girth makes it tough to carry in your front pocket comfortably while walking around or riding a bike. Stick it in your back pocket, and its bulkiness requires you to take it out when you sit down. Will I have to resort to a man-purse?

1.5 years later, the review for the (even larger) iPhone 6 plus...

Glorious, vivid, roomy display will make you want to throw out your iPad.

And guess what: The iPhone 6 Plus is the best, most exciting phone Apple has released in many years. I love this phone. The hardware is unparalleled, the app ecosystem is unparalleled, and the operating system has really matured. In fact, from a hardware perspective at least, this is the most compelling smartphone Ive ever used. Mostly.

And they doubled down on the Note II with a 5/10 review

https://www.wired.com/2012/11/samsung-galaxy-note-ii/

Like the first-generation Galaxy Note, Samsungs Galaxy Note II is too large to be a great phone, and its too small to realistically replace a tablet.
