Now that the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note5 share the same screen size, a really big phone is no longer a really big deal.
It was only in 2010 that Samsung introduced the Galaxy S, the first in its incredibly popular series of flagship smartphones. It had a 4-inch display, which was large for its time.

Once upon a time, when Google first talked about Chrome OS and the Chromebooks that run the mobile operating system, it pitched them as business tools.
