As an aside, it reminds me of when I thought my Galaxy Note 2 had a massive display at 5.5 inches. Fast forward to 2023 and I’m kind of wishing my S23 Ultra were a bit larger despite measuring 6.8 inches diagonally.
It’s the differences in the aspect ratio. You cannot compare screen sizes based on the diagonal alone when the aspect ratios are different. A 6.0" 20:9 screen is smaller than a 5.7" 16:9 screen. And in terms of width, the 6.5" 20:9 screen is also less wide than the 5.7" 16:9 screen, which can matter for certain things (like typing).
Also what’s not helping is the curved screen, I find it takes another few mm off in terms of usable screen area, which makes a screen feel smaller than its stated dimensions.

I do have a Galaxy tablet that seems huge to me and I was amazed to find it has better sound and video quality than my TV lol
Huge is 13" or 15". Mine is 10" and too small.
12.4". It’s the biggest screen I have that’s not a television or a computer lol
Nice. Now if I could only find such hardware that is supported by Lineage OS.
