Is a 5.5 inch screen on a phone big or small?

Right now I have an iPhone SE with a 4 inch screen and it's pretty small, I just ordered an iPhone 8 Plus with a 5.5 inch screen, I heard that 5.5 Is considered small nowadays. Is that true? Would 5.5 be good for Netflix?

I went from a 6 to 8+. I can finally see things!

Screen size is really determinant to the user. Some people would be happy with a 4" display (judging by the people who ask Apple to release a sequel to that SE). You could always check out an 8 Plus at some Apple Store or a retailer that has one on display. A 7 Plus would also be ok since they are pretty much the same externally (& have the same display size).

For me you also have to factor in the bezels around that display. The Plus series phones were too big for me to want to use but the XR with an even bigger 6.1" display was fine because it has, in comparison, no bezel.
