How Is The Screen Size Of A Device Measured? by Mustiboy(m): 9:15pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
this thing has been baffling me for some time now, the screen of Nokia x2-05, for example, is 2.4 inches we should be almost half of my lenovo s890, that is 5.0 inches . but the thing is I can measure out almost five of the said Nokia x2 From my lenovo. on the contrary, shouldn't it be just two? now, the question is, is there a different method of measuring these screen sizes or what? cause, I don't understand. |

Mustiboy: The diagram says it all. It is measured from one corner to the opposite corner |

bfeet:like seriously, I still don't understand Since they both are measured from the same corner to corner, don't u think a 2.4 inches should be almost half of a 5.0 inches screen? Compare the screen sizes of a 5.5 inches screen and that of a 5.0 inches screen and you'll see a humongous difference; is the meagre 0.5 inches that differentiates a 5.0 inches screen and a 5.5 inches screen that big? Pls, explain |

U guys are only explaining to the op how to measure a screen size but not why almost 5 of a 2.4 inches screen can measured out of a 5.0 inches screen, which truly should just be 2 |

Mustiboy: What Are you saying na? Nobody is looking at the Size the phone... What is measured here is Screen size... Go and buy a ruler Measure the Screen they using example above then tell us it is not correct... Simple Google Search you cant do, too bad. Measured diagonally from on corner to the other. Its the screen (display) size measured as the length between two diagonally opposite corners of the screen. It is not the size of the phone itself. It simply means that the screen size of your phone is 4.5 inches.

Let me explain with a picture. The screen size is stated based on the diagonals but what you actually see is the surface area of the screen 3 Likes 1 Share

So looking at it, PHONE B is actually four times bigger but if you go by the diagonal, it looks as though it's 2 times bigger |
