Bionic thinner than we think? (Math Attack)

[hvalergir]

Oh god, you're really gonna make me nerd out here huh?

A = 6.88mm (large computer magnified image scale size - hdmi receptical)

B = 2.6 mm (actual HDMI receptical height)

C = 25.07 mm (large computer magnified image scale size - phone depth)

D = missing variable solved for actual phone thickness in mm.

And yeah, I guess I don't have a lot to do tonight :/ The gf is at work until 11 and nothing tasty is on the Netflix instant queue lol

Umm, ALL the Star Treks are on instant now...

I do believe that your math is indeed incorrect.

Your claim that multiplying the scaled image by its original size will give you the scale factor is incorrect. You need a system of equations to solve this problem. A rather simple one, but still it is needed.

You claim AB = CD - this seems a bit arbitrary to me as multiplying them just gives you a number, not the scale.


A/B = E - this equation gives you the scale, and that's all you need to get the next set.
C/D = E - again, the scale

Then set those equal to eachother

A/B = C/D

Solve for D

D = B/A (C) - Now, you came up with this, but where you got it from was incorrectly done.

Anyway, the end result is correct, but it came from a weird place.

Didn't one of the leak sources say that it was as thick as the Thunderbolt? Maybe I was imagining that...

I read that somewhere as well either way no matter what size shape speed whatever its gonna be awesome and I'm sure after a while of playing around with it it will do everything other than make me breakfast ... stokedzilla

Looks to me like the equation is A : B = C : D (not AB = CD).

Just looking at some of the cases on Amazon and stumbled across one with Product Dim's. Interesting if it's accurate. Phone looks Big but compared to the other 4.3" it is about average.

Hmm, I wonder if they took that measurement at the top of the device where it's preggers.

I'll bet the 0.5 inch is the camera hump. My OG Droid is 0.5 inches thick, I've never felt like that was a problem.
