We need to stop measuring phone compactness by screen size, and do it by… the actual phone size.
‘6.1 inches’ makes you think “jesus, this phone must be massive, my old phone was like 4.8 inches!”, but it completely ignores how much bezels have shrunk over the years.
E.g. the Galaxy S24 has a 6.2" screen, surely that phone is massive, right? Well it turns out it has a total frontal area only 0.08% larger than the Galaxy S5 that came out 10 years ago, despite the screen size being over an inch larger.
