Even brands that don't generally rush onto the newest trends (eg. Meizu) are following suit on the 18:9 thing now. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:908620973] in Why are ph...

A lot of new models are switching from 16:9 to 18:9, and it sucks. 16:9 is good; I think something like 16:11 or so would be even better for phones / other [primarily] portrait-orientation screens. --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:908621126] in Why are ph...
