I'm torn between the two sizes: 5.5" would be great for web browsing on the go, but the 4.7" would certainly be easier to stow. Ugh, I wish foldable displays would hit the market already!

Regarding screen ratio, I prefer 16:9 for phones and 4:3 for tablets. 4:3 is better for viewing documents and traditional webpages, which I find the tablet's size is optimal for. Conversely, since the phone can only show a zoomed in version of these things anyway, I think it's better that its screen be optimized for video.
