The dimensional extent of a cellular device, typically measured along its longest side, is a key characteristic influencing usability and portability. For example, a measurement exceeding 16 centimeters may present challenges for single-handed operation for some users.

Historically, there has been a trend toward larger displays to enhance the viewing experience; however, manufacturers must balance this desire with the need for ergonomic design and ease of carrying.
