Screen size question

JCONNOR68

I am familliarizing myself with screen size vs. aspect ratio, etc. I am looking for the widest phone with biggest total area (I don't like these taller/narrower phones). I currectly have a note 4. My question is when I see that the Pixel 2XL is 6.22x3.02, is that the viewable screen area or does that measurement include the entire phone (in which case the screen/body size would need to be considered I think)?

I think that is the total size of the phone, i.e. the viewing area is going to actually be less than 6.22x3.02.

I guess you can estimate the actual size of the LCD itself, knowing the unit is 6.0" on the diagonal, and the aspect ratio / horizontal / vertical pixels.

Note: there are reports of screen burn in with the 2XL, and some other screen issues that people are dealing with at them moment.
