“The iPhone 7 Plus is 12% SMALLER than the Google Pixel XL with same 5.5” diagonal dimension screen. “
Selective editing! The Pixel XL is SMALLER in frontal area while being slightly thicker.
ERGO ... Google packs the same size screen in a SMALLER footprint!
BZZZZZZZTTTTTT!
This whole discussion has been about VOLUME, Tex. There is no "Selective Editing," nor are we talking about screen size. We are talking about what battery an fit in the volume made available inside the case. Pay attention.
