        Screen size

        Approximate rectangular screens calculated from recorded diagonal and aspect ratio at one relative scale. Rounded corners and cutouts are not subtracted. These are not phone outlines or calibrated actual sizes.

        Screen size
        Z10: 4.2 in, 5:3, About 50.2 cm² rectangular area 1 Pixel: 5 in, 16:9, About 68.9 cm² rectangular area 2

        2. 2. Pixel 5 in · 16:9 About 68.9 cm² rectangular area

        Pixel has approximately 37.3% more rectangular screen area than Z10.

        Memory variants

        Each row compares the same storage capacity. Cells show recorded RAM alternatives, not combined maxima. Not recorded does not mean unavailable in every market.
