would you actually consider this a 5.2 inch screen?

All the video apps I've used have used the full screen to show it so I would fully consider this a true 5.2" screen.

"BBC iplayer"and "sky go" do not auto hide the soft keys which is very annoying.

I dont really want to root the phone as i would like to keep the warranty intact.

So it lucks like i am stuck

Fully agreed, this is a true 5.2" screen.
