As someone who went from a 6-inch Clara to a 6.8 inch H2O2 I agree, it's a much bigger jump in usable screen size than "0.8" suggests. Especially when the form factor remains the same, the end result is a very noticeable jump in screensize for a very minimal loss of portability or even pocketability.
