6.8" and 6" are diagonal lengths. So to make comparison between these screen sizes, we do this = (6.8 x 6.8)/ (6 x 6) = 1.28444

Is that really how the math works, when the screens are rectangular? I thought you'd have to take the actual measurements of 2 sides of the screen for one device, multiply those measurements by each other to obtain the area, then do the same for the other device (and divide those areas of the 2 device's screens by each other).
I'm probably just ignorant of this sort of shortcut you've used to obtain the difference between their areas; I'm definitely no mathematician. But could you help me out on this a bit? (Perhaps you're effectively making 2 squares out of the diagonals, by multiplying them by themselves, and this somehow can deliver the overall difference in their areas. ? )
Oh, BTW, I'm just referring to the relative screen areas, not the part about trying to figure in how much more text based on the increased resolution.
