3G call time (minutes):[1]

HTC10: 1859 LG G5: 1579 S7: 1492 iPhone 7: 712

The results would be closer on pretty much any other test, but it's hard to do an apples to apples comparison on anything other than talk time. Most review sites still find that this generation of Android flagships have longer web browsing times than the iPhone 7.

That 712 minutes is probably as much as I will talk on the phone for the entire time I own it.

iPhone 7+ is a much better comparison considering the size of the first two devices.

Not really.

HTC10: 145.9 x 71.9

iPhone7: 138.3 x 67.1 (-7.6, -4.7 vs HTC10)

iPhone7+: 158.2 x 77.9 (+12.7, +6 vs HTC10)

I see how you conveniently avoided listing their thickness. HTC 10 is 20% thicker then iPhone 7 plus.

Unlike the other dimensions, the difference between ridiculously thin and absurdly thin isn't terribly user-visible, especially given that many people will increase the thickness of their phones by more than that simply through their choice of protective case.

What about the difference between ridiculously bulky and fat and normal size?

Does not matter, original point was that you should compare apples to apples, and comparing HTC 10 to iPhone 7 plus seems more fair than to iPhone 7 due to their dimensions.

Because it doesn't matter when you hold it in your hand. (At least 1-2 mm doesn't, for me.)

All these phones are only two dimensional? Did Jony Ive design them?
