Assuming the phone’s proportions stay the same, the width scales in the same ratio as the length:

new width = old width × (new length / old length).

With old length = 1.212 in, old width = 3.434 in, new length = 1.1414 in:

new width = 3.434 × (1.1414 / 1.212) ≈ 3.234 inches (rounded to three decimals).

If I misread any of the given numbers, tell me the correct values and I’ll recompute.
