Considering the price of phones today, the prominance of mobile use and development, it seems like a very reasonable question. There are a lot of blog and production site articles on the topic as well. If you're not interested then why not just ignore.

Reference for what should and should not be flagged can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click "flag" at the top."

Flagging was likely inappropriate, but the question itself is nonsense: "in or out"? What does it even mean? If you want a phone with a big display so you can have a phone with a big display, what does the nebulous terms "in" and "out" have to do with anything that matters? (That's an actual question, not snark.)

Trends are important to consumers and to hackers (I'm one of both), that's the purpose of the question and a huge one that matters.

Using Hacker News (theoretically a forum about hacking and startup business, though that's clearly not quite true anymore) as a sort of lazy-man's Consumer Report is both a waste and disrespectful.
