minus-squaremeliante@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·14 days agoThe number alone means nothing. Ratios and bezels can and do make a difference.
minus-squareIMALlama@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 days agoAgree, but also half the story. The zenphone 10 is 146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm. I had a 3a until very recently. With its 5.7" screen it was 151.3 x 70.1 x 8.2 mm, so it does support the story. The OG iPhone was 115 × 61 × 11.6 mm. I’m still using an iPhone 8 for my work phone and it’s 138.4 x 67.3 mm x 7.3 mm. It’s clear that the market is demanding larger phones, which means that today’s “small” phones are often larger than the phones of yesteryear.
