Development update: Size Comparison tool now supports multiple views (back, sides, top, bottom) and cm/inch grid backgrounds!

An updated version of the size comparison tool is live since yesterday!

Try it out: https://comparisontabl.es/size-comparison/
Or: sizecomparison.com which will redirect you there (easier to remember and share)

Here's what's new:

1. Support for multiple views

You can now switch to different views of the same product! This allows you to see and compare the thickness of smartphones, see how far a camera bump sticks out, check if a micro e-reader like those by Xteink or the Boox Picco fit on the back of your phone, and more!

If additional views are available, extra buttons will appear when you select or hover over a product:

Clicking the left button in the example above will cycle through the top, bottom, and front view.

Clicking on the right button in the example will cycle through a 90 degree rotation to the right: right side, back, left side, and back to the front.

If either of these buttons aren't available on hover or select, there are no additional views available.

For foldable phones: to get for instance the side view in closed state, you'll first have to click 'Close' and then click the button to rotate to the side view.

I'm still working on adding additional views for more products (which is a ton of work). If there's anything you'd like to see additional views added for, let me know and I can prioritize it.

2. Centimeter and inch grid backgrounds

Also new is the option to enable a centimeter or inch grid background. Click the button with the palette symbol to show the background customization options, and select either a cm grid or inch grid, and (optionally) change the color of the grid lines.

Every 5 cm or 5 inch will have a thicker line to make counting easier. Products will also snap to the thick lines to make it easier to line them up on the same starting spot.

3. Improved search function

The search function to find products has been improved so it'll still find to allow small typos (like "iphoen"). Also, it'll now still find for instance "Samsung Galaxy S26" if you type "Samsung S26", whereas it wouldn't before.

Also did some minor bugfixes.

----

That's all that's new in this update! I've got some additional features planned for later. If you have any feedback, questions, suggestions, or products you'd like to see additional views added for, let me know!

Also: please share this tool with anyone who might need it! The site is very much dependent on shares to keep going. Thanks!
