So, an Iphone X?
So, an Iphone X?
- SE: 4.0" (10.16 cm)
- X: 5.8" (14.73 cm)
(source: https://www.gadgetsnow.com/compare-mobile-phones/Apple-iPhon...)
X's display is 45% larger, but the phone's total size is larger too.
You're off by almost a factor of 2, and furthermore that makes these increases significant in relative terms.
The 5S is 4.87"x2.31", the X is 5.65"x2.79", that's +0.78"/+16% in height and much worse +0.48"/+21% in width.
The phone is more "surface efficient" (phone diagonals goes from 5.4" to 6.3", or a 0.9" (and 16%) increase where the screen increased by 1.8") but it's still significantly bigger.
