And America’s Favorite Cellphone Model Is …

Bigger is apparently better when it comes to cellphones.

Some of the biggest smartphones by some of the largest manufacturers dominate the American Customer Satisfaction Index this year.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 (which stands about 6 inches tall by 3.1 inches wide) and Galaxy Note 3 took the top two spots. Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus (about 6.2 inches by 3.1 inches) took third.

“Apple does not appear to have gained any advantage from the major redesign of its iconic iPhone in terms of user satisfaction,” an ACSI press release states.

In comparison with the top three models, Samsung’s Galaxy S5, which ranked No. 4, is 5.6 inches by 2.9 inches and the regular iPhone 6, ranked No. 5, is 5.4 inches by 2.6 inches.

Released today, the ACSI customer satisfaction benchmarks for smartphones are based on randomly sampled interviews with current smartphone users.
