I'm more worried about the screen or the memory or other components just dying from old age.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's too heavy at 305 grams. I want something light enough that I can carry it around like a phone. The webpages I've seen on the Lenovo are full of contradictions. One page says the rear camera is 5 mp, another says it's 13mp. The page you referred me to says it's...

I lean toward the Xiaomi too, because it's considerably lighter in weight. But I've found a source for the Huawei who seems like a more reputable dealer than the source I found for the Xiaomi.

Well, I'm going by the aspect ratios listed in the specifications for the phones that you see on the internet, rather than measuring height and width. I have wasted so much time trying to track down one of these older 16:9 phones, which are rapidly disappearing from the secondhand market. They...

Thanks for the reply. Remember, I'm not talking about the bezels --bezels being the metal or plastic edge that abuts the screen. I am talking about the black inner frame that appears to be part of the screen itself. All phones seem to have them and they vary in width, and they're not part of...

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at Mi Max 2 (6.44 inches) and Huawei MediaPad T2 7.0 Pro (7 inches). The Huawei is the one with the wide black inner frame. Can only buy either second hand by internet order so I can't measure the displays in person. I am also very annoyed that no phone makers...

I am trying to decide between two old phablets (because I don't like the skinny new aspect ratios of today's phones). One has a 7 inch display, the other 6.44 inches. But the one with the 7 inch display has a much wider black inner frame between the bezel and the viewable area than the 6.44...
