Pixel density matters a lot if not enough power is provided to handle the extra load. Take Samsung's method for handling its screens: they are always pushing for insanely high resolutions, yet their chips aren't fast enough to cope with it.

Yes, the screen size matters because it's pushing more pixels. What did you want them to do, artificially slow down the iPhone 8 Plus?

This is totally unacceptable... I mean for the cost of the X how come the 8 and 8 plus outperform the iPhone X? Shame on you Apple.

Does the size of the screen/display affect performance thereby giving the iphone 8 and 8+ advantage over the X is comparing raw figures like this ?
