What these size differences mean
Calculated from the dimensions shown, rounded to 0.1 mm and 1 g. Percentages use the smaller measurement as the reference. Fold and rotation settings affect the dimensions compared.

- Galaxy Tab A11 is 4.5 mm (2.2% relative to Legion Tab (8.8", 5)) taller. This describes the body outline; screen diagonal alone does not tell you the overall size.
- Galaxy Tab A11 is 0.4 mm (5.3% relative to Legion Tab (8.8", 5)) thicker. Cases and camera protrusions can change the clearance you need.
- Galaxy Tab A11 is 25 g lighter. This is the listed device-weight difference, not a measured comfort rating.
Use these figures to compare physical size. They do not establish one-handed reach, pocket fit, durability or an overall winner.
Sources and measurement notes
Sizometry compares published specifications and calculates differences. These are not hands-on measurements or tests of comfort, performance or pocket fit.
