I mean the galaxy note (2011) is still larger than plenty of phones now, so it doesn’t seem absurd. They were large and still are.
Note: 146.9mm x 83mm x 9.7mm (total volume 118,269mm³)
S25: 146.9mm x 70.5 x 7.2mm (total volume 74,566mm³)
The note is 59% larger. Yet people seem to look at the specs and say “it only has a 5.2” screen, it must be way smaller than the 6.2" screen phones of today"
I don’t get why reviewers conflate phone size and screen size. They aren’t the same.
Shit, let’s even compare it to the S25 Ultra (so the big one with a 6.9" screen).
S25 Ultra: 162.8mm x 77.6mm x 8.2mm (total volume 103,592mm³)
The Note, despite the 5.2" screen size implying the phone is tiny in comparison, is 14% larger.

Have a look at this 2012 article and giggle together with me about the sizes of those so-called phablets.
