About Phone3box

Phone3box is a size database, not a review site. Every model page lists the body height, width, thickness, weight and display diagonal in real units, so you can answer one question quickly: will this phone fit my hand and my pocket?

Where the data comes from

Specifications are pulled from the open TechAPI dataset (gettechapi.github.io/TechAPI), which publishes reviewed JSON records with source URLs for every device. The code of that project is MIT licensed and its data is CC BY-SA 4.0, so Phone3box keeps the same attribution and shares the derived numbers openly.

Records are only added, never silently overwritten. When a model already exists in this database, a sync run leaves it untouched.

How to read a size

• Width is what your palm feels — under 70 mm is one-hand territory, over 76 mm usually needs two.
• Height decides pocket fit; anything above 160 mm pokes out of most jean pockets.
• Thickness plus weight decides how heavy it feels in a jacket pocket.
• Screen diagonal is measured corner to corner, so it grows faster than the body does.

Corrections

Manufacturers occasionally publish slightly different numbers for regional variants. If a figure looks wrong, the source URL on the device record is the ground truth.
