This device will probably go on sale for much less than $1599. That being said, at 6.8", it's huge. My Pixel with a 6.3" screen is already too large for my taste and I wish more sub 6" phone were available. Think iPhone X size for something modern but comfortably compact.
I'm a happy user of iPhone16e. Its size is just about right.
iPhone minis were perfect: flagship specs, on a tiny body. Too bad the mass market didn't seem to agree
