      The best small phone in 2024 is more than 6 inches. Back then this would be considered a “phablet”.

      Yeah, exactly. If it was the same size as a S7, I might consider it actually small.

        It’s not as far off as you might think, screen size can be misleading for phone size as aspect ratios and bezels change:

        S7 dimensions: 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm

        S24 dimensions: 147.0 x 70.6 x 7.6mm

        Mostly it’s slightly taller than the S7, otherwise about the same.

        You could also argue the lack of bezels now makes cases more necessary and adds to the bulk too though.

      I wouldn’t say “huge”. It’s a medium sized phone, the same as the iPhone and Zenfone.

      It’s small compared to most flagship phones. I’ve used a Moto G100 for a few years before switching to the S24, and it’s an insane difference
