(4) No need to cut Space, no need upgrading software, the original layout is very good.

If you choose to cut the space , whether we need to retain the compatibility of the original 6.25 Space? That is, the user can choose the 6.25 space, and also can choose 3FN short Space (5) Yes, (6) No.

(7) If you don’t agree to any of the above, please give your suggestion.
