The size of the body has a big influence on the ease of carrying and one-handed operation. The narrower the width, the easier it is to firmly grasp and hold, but you also have to take into account the device's thickness. Also, if the width and height are smaller, its easier to operate one-handed since its easier to extend your fingers. On the contrary, if the width and height are large, it's difficult to fit in your pocket and is bulky even when put in a bag, and portability is impaired.

The ROG Phone II ZS660KL has a width of 3.1 inches (77.6 mm), a length of 6.7 inches (171 mm), and a thickness of 0.4 inches (9.5 mm). Also, the Zenfone Max Pro (M1) ZB601KL/ZB602K has a width of 3.0 inches (76 mm), a length of 6.3 inches (159 mm), and a thickness of 0.3 inches (8.5 mm).
