Why size is hard to judge from a list
A product page will give you millimetres and a screen size in inches. What most people really want to know is simpler: will this feel taller in the hand, or sit like the phone I already own?
Putting two phones side by side makes small gaps clear—like the 17 being a few millimetres taller than the 17e—before you buy a case or trade in.

- 17e vs 16e: Both stay compact. The 16e is about a millimetre taller and thinner; weights are close.
- 17e vs 13: Height and width match (146.7 × 71.5 mm). Thickness and weight differ a little—so people often ask whether older cases still fit.
