I could say the save for the reverse.

I don't get at all why people want phones with a small screen.

Typing get hard, I have to zoom & pan to see a website, watching videos/photos on a small screen is not nice at all...

It's all a matter of personal preference, and habit. After using a Nexus 7 as my only mobile device for a while, I've come to find small a Galaxy S4.

It just seems that the majority of people prefer big screens over small screens. It might also be a market strategy, as a phone with a >5" screen could be on a different market (and so doesn't compete) than an iPhone.

That said, a "Nexus 5 mini" would be nice to make everyone happy.

You could say that, but it sounds funny since you can't complain about not having something that you do have. Android and large screens are practically synonymous.

Android users who want a smaller screen are really hard pressed to find high quality devices.
