Right?

The screen is larger than my Galaxy S4 was - the entire phone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nope.

Xperia 5 V screen area: 86.9cm²

Galaxy S4 full frontal area: 95.9cm² (pretty much exactly 10% larger)

In terms of full dimensions (not just the Xperia's screen) the Xperia is narrower but longer than the S4.

So for stuff like typing one handed, or using better designed apps with navigation on the bottom, the one-handed experience will be better on the Xperia. Swiping down your notifications won't be.

10%...so effectively the same.

What's that come out to, perhaps 1.25 mm difference?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So you've went from "the screen of this phone is bigger than my S4" to "it doesn't matter that I lied and that the S4 is actually 10% larger"? Lol

10% isn't effectively the same. It's easily noticeable.

I told you the difference. I provided numbers. 95.9mm² - 86.9mm² = 9mm²

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guess to you a 1mm difference is significant.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

*10% is significant. I'd be happy to hear about getting a 10% payrise tomorrow, for example.

But in your topsy-turvy world, 110% is smaller than 100%.

Just accept you lied or made shit up, take the L, and move on.

I just measured my S4. That things screen is significantly larger than the entire S4, by 1/4".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it isn't. I gave you the numbers, which you can verify at a number of places online.

Mate, just take the L. It's not that deep. You made up some misinformation and got called out for it. That's it.

But feel free to show me you measuring your S4 and your 5 V lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just measured my S4 (I have 3 of them still). That phones screen is 1/4 inch larger than the entire S4. Quit lying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it isn't. Stop lying.

You know you're lying, I know you're lying, and nobody else is reading this, so why are you even bothering?

Here you go, actual data:

But feel free to upload a video of you measuring the S4 and 5 V that you totally do have.

Liar.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahah, I OWN 3 S4's. That new phone screen is 1/4 inch larger than my entire S4.

Please, keep trying to gaslight me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ahhh ok so all the reviews are lying, Sony is lying, and Samsung are lying. Ok.

Can you show me your S4s and your Xperia 5 V?
