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?

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

Guess to you a 1mm difference is significant.

*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".
