X lighter than the 8 Plus

[nanogirl21]

What makes the X lighter than the 8 Plus? I looked through the specs, but don't see anything special that the 8 Plus has that the X doesn't to make it so much heavier especially since the X is larger.

X - 6.14 ounces (174 grams)
8 Plus - 7.13 ounces (202 grams)

No, the Plus is much larger than the X, so yea, pretty straight forward explanation.

Yeah how come is a smaller phone with a smaller and thinner display that doesn't even need a backlight lighter?

That's weird.

Lets have a look at this image... 8plus is the biggest, so it's the heaviest. X is in the middle, so it's the "middle weight", iphone 8 (non-plus) is the smaller one, so is it's also the lighter...

pretty straight forward

Ahh my apologizes! I apparently mixed demetions between the X and Plus.

I'm really curious to see what Apple comes out with next year. A 6.3" iPhone X? Yes plz.

Yea I think it will be 6.4 (rumored) and about the size of the current plus. Will definitely be enticing. I may even be able to ditch my iPad Pro and go iPhone only (the dream scenario).

Even despite the size difference.

I'd have expected the weight/density of the X with it's steel structure to catch up or surpass the weight of the aluminum 8Plus. *shrug*. Just mildly interesting.
