What does this number measure?

A pocket computer on the scale of a hand. The value corresponds to a representative phone height. It identifies neither a particular model nor its screen diagonal.

Compare the stated dimensions

The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
