(Get the code!)
As far as I can tell, you have now raised three distinct issues.
x. “Check boxes … are not touch friendly - too small on a phone”: that would and should be solved by fixing bug 1333228, which is why I marked it as a duplicate.
a. “Check boxes … are … also inconsistent with other (sliding) switches” / “The distinction between a checkbox and switch is still too vague and they should be the same thing”: that’s Invalid, because they are different controls, just like radio buttons and radio menus are different controls even though they both do radio selection. Checkboxes and switches look much less similar than they used to (switches used to have checkmarks too!), and they’ll look even less similar when checkboxes are moved to the left.
b. “a tick in a checkbox is too small to see on a phone (e.g. krillin) and should either never be used there, or need to be enlarged”. That is a matter of opinion, though I agree with you — the checkmark does look quite wispy on a BQ Aquaris E4.5.
It’s almost always a bad idea to cover multiple issues in the same bug report: firstly it slows and confuses developers trying to understand it, secondly the issues may be resolved differently, and thirdly even if they’re all fixed, that often involves different code developed by different people and/or at different times. So, please report a separate bug on the size of the tick in the checkbox.
