People mistakenly use screen size to measure the size of their devices, as opposed to the actual size.

People think 6.4"??? That's huge! My old phone was only 5.2"!!, but once you factor in how much bezels have shrunk, the phones we have now are about the same as they were a decade ago.

I actually compared a 10 year old Samsung Galaxy S5 (2014) against the current model. The current model is 0.6% larger by frontal area. That's it.
