They can never go beyond 6.9". 7" is already a tablet territory. Smartphone like Xperia Z Ultra will be the norm a few years from now. When wee look back at 5" smartphone we will realized how small it was. As smartphone are getting thinner with slimmer bezel or bezel-less it is easy to make small smartphone with large display. I hope to see a completely bezel free smartphone from ZTE.

I really think any of the latest top end Samsung will never workout with my constant usage as my primary internet connection daily.

            Either Samsung gives us a version with double the battery, or bring back removable battery. And all the goodness of at least Note 4 features.

              You would think that Samsung would make a premium phone that combines the best of both wouldn't you. If i was forced to chose one i would probably go the A9 because of 232GB storage space vs just 32GB on an Australian GN5.

She nearly lost the S Pen as well.

                                    And making the next Note 6 with 6" screen will probably another big mistake, next to the fragile glass back, no memory expansion, no removable battery, and no infrared remote control function.

                                      I used Galaxy Note2,3,4 and now 5. Without any doubt 5 is the worst of all. It has nearly nothing more useful than note 4 but lacks many features that were there in note 3 or 4 like direct dial, common log with sms and calls together etc. It cannot even send the telephone number of a contact without having internet connection. But it can send the number of a contact in the call log! Many more defects. I think Samsung released it without testing it enough. The only useful feature is ability to write with the stylus when the screen is off. Twice I nearly lost the stylus as slightest knock it has even accidentally will get the pen out. I ordered and got down the 64 GB version still it is no where near note 3 or 4 that had lot more memory. The battery too is bad and lesser than that of note 4. I will not recommend you to buy Note 5 if you have note 3 or 4.
