Narrow phone problem
I find a lot of phones very awkward to hold and use due to their narrowness
Narrow phones also shrink the 16:9 viewport, and I want all the screen estate when watching videos. So far it's mostly Apple, Samsung, and Huawei paying attention to this and make phones that feel decent in hands with massive 16:9 viewports for all my viewing needs
Below is a list of phones with their height-to-width ratios, and their 16:9 viewport sizes (if known):
