Users also insist that the 'superphones' come sporting a thin frame.
Last year, researcher Strategy Analytics claimed sales of superphones – a high end smartphone with at least a four-inch screen – would grow by 200 per cent, becoming the fastest growing type of handset on the market.
Now, the firm says 90 per cent of US and UK smartphone owners are hungry for mobile phone displays that are larger than the ones on their current devices, hoping that the screen on their upgrade will measure between four and 4.5-inches, on the condition that the device is thin and not bulky.
However, when looked at demographically, females would prefer smaller devices to males, while Android owners are looking to outsize iPhone owners.
Paul Brown, a director in the Strategy Analytics User Experience Practice, said: "Almost 90 per cent of existing smartphone owners surveyed chose a prototype smartphone with a display larger than their current device.
"This trend is driven by increased mobile web browsing capability, as well as engaging video and gaming experiences."

Apple ranks as number one for customer satisfaction.
Smartphone users expect a lot of their device, and so they should, given that most manufacturers are pushing for consumers to pay premium prices for their creations, but despite this, battery life isn't meeting consumer expectations, according to JD Power and Associates.
It will be a wake up call to smartphone vendors as results show that battery performance is the key part for firms to secure customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Satisfaction levels vary based on 3G and 4G connectivity, with the latter ranking 6.1 out of ten, lower than 3G on 6.7 out of ten. This is due to 4G needing more power in order to search for the next-generation signal it's supposed to provide users.
Additionally, 4G smartphone use their devices for calls, texts, emails and web browsing more than 3G users, which takes an additional toll on the power.
Kirk Parsons, senior director of wireless services at J.D. Power and Associates, said: "Both carriers and manufacturers recognise the fact that battery life needs to be improved.

They're not center-stage right now, but Android tablets are still predicted to overtake the iPad within the next three years, according to IDC. The forecasters noted that Apple's worldwide share of the tablet market is shrinking with each new lower-priced Android competitor. Even as iPad sales continued to grow in 2011, surging 50 percent between Q3 and Q4, its market share fell during the same period, from 61.5 to 54.7 percent. That gives the iOS slate a weaker lead going into 2012 than suggested by earlier figures. Of course, the iPad remains an individual starlet in front of a troupe of Google dancers, so Apple's position as the upper-most vendor isn't under threat. In fact, IDC predicts it will remain the market leader in terms of revenue beyond 2016, which ought to put some fire in Amazon's belly.

If you somehow haven't heard, Apple's new iPad officially goes on sale this Friday. As such, it's not surprising to find out that at least one US Best Buy location has already received its stock of the Retina display-loaded slates. Thanks to an anonymous tipster, we've received photos showing short-stacks of the pads just waiting to be given new homes. If you'll recall, Apple's online store has already sold out of its arrival day shipment stock for home delivery, with newer orders now set to go out on the 19th. That said, if you haven't reserved one and have to it come March 16th, you'll likely have another option for a retail camping adventure aside from your local Apple, AT&T and Verizon stores.

Eyeing the iPad 3, but have yet to take the pre-order plunge? Per The Next Web, your patience is about to be rewarded as Apple's updated its Reuse and Recycling program, which means owners of iPad 2s in "good condition" can sling them back to their maker in exchange for an Apple Store gift card. How much the mothership will subsequently send back naturally varies on what iPad 2 you've got -- ranging anywhere from $205 for the base 16GB WiFi model, all the way to $320 for the most capacious 64GB WiFi + 3G variant. Or you could try your luck with similar programs such as eBay's Instant Sale or the one from Cupertino's tablet rival to the north. And would you look at that, we've even gone ahead and put links to all three just below.

We were so busy fondling gaming machines and touchscreen Ultrabooks at CeBIT last week that we missed that tablet you see up there. That would be the Prestigio Multi 9.7, which -- surprise, surprise -- sports a 9.7-inch display. What's intriguing to us (besides the fact that we're generally obsessed with this sort of thing), is that we don't see nearly as many budget 10-inch tablets as we do 7-inchers. As you can see in the video below, it has a nice, fingerprint-resistant rubber back, along with an IPS display and Ice Cream Sandwich as an OS -- not too shabby for what's clearly a low-end device. Then again, the specs are appropriately modest: it has 8GB of built-in storage (expandable via microSD) and runs on a single-core 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 chip, bolstered by 1GB of RAM. According to Notebook Italia, it'll hit Italy in May for €199, though it's unclear if it will be available in other countries as well. Head past the break to find a video of it in action (skip to about 1:30 in), and hit that source link for more pics.

Apple's new top of the range iPad – which comes with 64GB memory, wi-fi and 4G connectivity – is priced at £659, but Tesco retailed the tablet at just £49.99 due to an IT error, according to BBC News.
Perhaps, 'IT error' means John the IT guy made a blunder and will never work for an online retailer again.
While wide-eyed consumers were likely buying the devices by the bulk load, Tesco has withdrawn the incorrect price – a privilege it has thanks to its terms and conditions – and assures customers will not have any money withdrawn from their accounts.
A Tesco spokesperson, said: "We like to offer our customers unbeatable value, but unfortunately this is an IT error that is currently being corrected."

IDC increases its outlook on the back of a higher than expected fourth quarter.
Overall global tablet shipments for 2011 reached 68.7 million, leading IDC to predict 87.7 million tablet shipments would take place this year.
However, having seen the success and of the Kindle Fire and clamour for the new iPad, the analyst has revised 2012 estimates to 106 million.
Meanwhile, tablet shipments hit 28.2 million in Q4 2011, a 56.1 per cent rise on Q3, and an impressive 155 per cent rise year-on-year.
Going forward IDC expects Android to increase its market share, passing Apple tablet shipments in 2015.
Additionally, e-reader shipments are thought to have hit 10.7 million units, rising by 64. 3 per cent year-on-year.

A look at the first smartphone that retailed at $900 in 1993, to the iPhone revolution and beyond.
Last month, TechNet revealed that the US mobile app market has generated almost 500,000 jobs, while the iPhone's 2007 launch is highlighted as the main driver behind apps and smartphones taking off.
Now, FrugalDad has created an infographic on the back of Technet's report, looking at the very first smartphone, the most popular apps and developments within the market across the past 20 years.

Angry creatives take to Google Merchant Forums to blow the whistle.
Last week, we reported that Google may be forcing its developers to integrate the Google Wallet payments into their Android apps.
Now, Google has been accused of swindling European developers out of March payments for their Google Play apps – formerly known as Android Market – by providing them with false information that their funds had been transferred, according to Android Central.
Based on the comments, a payment should have been made on March 2nd, but almost two weeks later and bank accounts remain untouched.
The developers have been venting their frustrations with Google in the Google Checkout Merchant forums, and more than 100 posts have been made in week-old thread thus far.
Google generically responded to one developer, saying: "Thanks for reaching out to us. To ensure a faster resolution, I’ve forwarded your message to a team that’s better able to address your concerns. We’ll respond with additional information as soon as possible."

Did Apple actually release a new iPad with LTE and a Retina Display last week? Or did it waft hallucinogens at us while we liveblogged, making us see only what we wanted to see? These doubts should be quashed when the third-gen tablet starts reaching consumers who are too populous to drug effectively. Fortunately, that process has already started, with some folks over in Vietnam claiming they've got hold of the retail version of the new iPad and posting evidence to prove it. Wander over to the video after the break and the images at the source link to catch a glimpse of what your pre-order might look like when it solidifies into reality.

Not only did some lucky gents in Vietnam get their hands on the new iPad while most people are still refreshing their delivery status page, they were also kind enough to run some benchmark tests. The results confirm that the RAM has been upped to 1GB, with the Geekbench score settling at 756. The processor remains at 1GHz, again, which is what we expected, but puts the kibosh on any speculation that there might have been a slight bump in clock speeds. If you want to see the full breakdown, hit the source for the goods.

Just six days have elapsed since the unveiling of Apple's third-generation iPad, and the rumor mill is already wildly speculating about what's in store for the next one. Korea Times has quoted an unnamed (yeah) Samsung official who has said that we can expect a 7.85-inch version of the tablet to arrive by the end of the year. As usual, it's fair to point out that the company is famous for producing a wide variety of prototypes, so we won't be delaying that pre-order. On firmer ground, they mentioned that as a key component supplier to the iPad, the Korean giant will earn around $10 billion manufacturing Cupertino's NAND flash chips, displays, mobile DRAM and processors -- so no matter who wins the tablet wars, the manufacturing conglomerate will probably do quite well.

Almost a year has passed since we last saw Marvell's Kinoma platform in person, but the time has finally arrived for its release. We got the chance to sit down with Peter Hoddie, VP of the Kinoma Platform, to learn a little bit more about his software and what Kinoma can bring to your smartphone experience. First, a quick refresher. Kinoma Play is technically an app, but in reality it serves as an entirely new UI for your Android device running versions 2.1 and up. The platform currently has 50 of its own apps -- written in Kinoma Play Script, a Javascript language -- that are obtained through the Kinoma store, and these apps can be accessed on their own or through Play's unique dashboard system.
There are currently five dashboards: Play, Search, Places, Music, and Send, with more to come as users ask for them. These dashboards group related apps and allow you to access them simultaneously in a truncated, list form -- for instance, the search dashboard returns results from Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Bing, and any other Kinoma app you choose to add. In addition to those useful dashboards, the software improves the UX by simply speeding things up. It's a lightweight platform with small apps (many are only 100 - 150KB in size) that launch quickly and run smoothly. Still not sold? Head on past the break to see Peter walk us through a little bit of what Kinoma can do, and read on to learn more about the platform.

Whether you’d like to do some real-time logging of data, or just want to control a project with your Android phone, [Thomas]‘s Arduino-Android Bluetooth connectioninstructable is sure to be useful
[Thomas]‘ build uses the very inexpensive JY-MCU Bluetooth module that’s available on eBay or dealextreme. This Bluetooth module ties directly into the Tx and Rx lines of the Arduino so a wireless serial connection between an Android device can be established. On the Android side of the build, Python for Android and the Scripting Layer for Android allow for reading wireless sensor data over Bluetooth.
While connecting an Android device to an Arduino is also possible with an IOIO or anAndroid Open Accessory dev kit, we haven’t seen much (barring this) about controlling or reading simple electronics with Android over Bluetooth. Sometimes you just don’t need an awesome dev board to bodge up a simple project, so we hope [Thomas]‘s very nice instructable will help get a few more builds off the ground.

One-quarter worries social networking affects their children's real-world social life.
Leading social network Facebook has almost half a billion monthly mobile users, while its rival Twitter has around 60 million users, which both span across all demographics.
However, 59 per cent of British parents are concerned that their children aged between ten to 16 spend too much time using social media and 26 per cent are worried that it will affect their real-world social skills, according to MyVoucherCodes.co.uk.
48 per cent worry who they're talking to, which 43 per cent fret over cyber-bullying, and given that 41 per cent of American teens are bullied via mobile, there's every chance it could happen to British kids too.
Embarrassingly, over two-thirds admit they are clueless how much time their offspring spends on the platform and 53 per cent put this down to them owning smartphones.
Mark Pearson, chairman of MyVoucherCodes, says: "It's not all that surprising to hear that parents are concerned about the amount of time their kids are spending on social media, however it was interesting to find out how many of them think that this is having an effect on their social life offline.

Samsung makes official announcement after a couple of false starts.
Google's Ice Cream Sandwich OS debuted on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the UK during Q4 2011.
However, while the Android OS is gradually receiving additional rollouts on new and existing devices, it currently occupies just one per cent of all Android-powered devices.
Now, after Samsung originally dismissed the rumours of an ICS rollout to its flagship Galaxy S II phones, the Korean firm has tweeted, saying: "#ICS for #GALAXYSII will be available today in Europe including Poland, Hungary, Sweden, & Korea, & gradually roll out to other markets."
Additionally, JK Shin, president of IT & mobile communications division at Samsung Electronics, says: "We expect that our customers will enjoy an enhanced experience with their Galaxy device through this upgrade. Samsung is committed to satisfying our customer needs."
The S II has already sold over 20 million units and the ICS availability could increase the demand, especially as Samsung is yet to make an official announcement about the release of the Galaxy S III.

But Apple fights back as the iPhone 4 receives the highest device share.
Mobile advertising network InMobi's latest report shows that Android is still leading the European mobile ad market, securing 34 per cent of impressions, which is a one per cent dip from November 2011.
Meanwhile, iOS secured 28 per cent, rising by five per cent, leaving RIM static in third place with 17 per cent.
Although Android leads by OS share, the popularity of Apple products is clear as the iPhone 4 took the highest number of impressions with nine per cent, also securing third spot with the original iPad.
Additionally, InMobi boosted its European footprint by 63 per cent in the 90 day period, equivalent to 15.2 billion monthly impressions.
Rob Jonas, VP and MD, EME, InMobi, says: "We expect to see continued growth in iOS, driven by last week’s unveiling of the new iPad, as well as the reduced pricing of the iPad 2.
