Determining the "most popular" phones is complex, as popularity varies by region, sales data, and user preferences. Additionally, screen sizes can have slight variations depending on the specific model and source of information. This list combines data from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive overview of popular phones, ordered by screen width, and includes both pixel width and diagonal screen size in inches for clarity. Note that foldable phones have multiple screen sizes, and these are listed separately.

Note: This list is based on available data and may not be exhaustive. Screen sizes can vary slightly depending on the source and specific model variations. Foldable phones are listed with both their inner and outer display sizes. Pixel widths are approximate and based on common resolutions for the given screen sizes.
When comparing screen sizes, it's important to consider not just the diagonal measurement in inches, but also the aspect ratio and resolution. A phone with a larger diagonal screen might not necessarily have a wider display if it has a different aspect ratio. For example, a phone with a 21:9 aspect ratio will be narrower than a phone with a 16:9 aspect ratio, even if they have the same diagonal measurement.
Additionally, the pixel width is a more accurate measure of the actual horizontal screen space. This is especially important for tasks like reading text or viewing images, where the horizontal space is more relevant than the diagonal measurement.
Foldable phones introduce another layer of complexity, as they have both an inner and outer display. The inner display is typically much larger and is used for more immersive experiences, while the outer display is used for quick tasks and notifications.
The popularity of phones also changes over time, so this list is a snapshot based on the most recent data available. New models are constantly being released, and older models may become less popular.
For the most up-to-date information, it is recommended to consult tech review websites and comparison tools, which are constantly updated with the latest phone specifications.
