I just bought a Motorola One Ace. Love the phone for so many reasons... "Except" the stupid tall, skinny screen 🙁 I'd have paid an extra $100 if it had been the same height, but 1/2" wider.... Or should I say, a 16:9.
In fact I'd have probably chosen a different phone, just to have a 16:9 ratio, but looking around, I didn't really see any great options, that included a 16:9 🙁
Honestly, I figured I must be one of the few who cared about a wider format screen. But looking through the responses here, it seems I'm in the majority !? What the heck are manufacturers thinking anyway ?

I also belong to those who want 16:9 ratio . It feel its more relaxing to read and type . I use a iphone 8+ and want to buy a android again . With so so meny phones beeing made i cant understand why no one tries to fill that market ? Been scouting aliexpress and yes there are soem 16:9 ratio phones there but not new disigned , Best i found is UMIDIGI A3X . Anyone else have better tips ?
I want 16:9 ratio - the best for my needs.
Others want tall (e.g. 20:9) phones - OK, I can understand it.
However, I do not understand why ALL phones in the last years are tall, given the demand for 16:9. Can all phone producers be so stupid to miss the opportunity to increase sales?

I've had other phones and I keep going back to the old Google Nexus 6 (6-inch screen, 16:9 aspect ratio) because it's just easier to read and view. Think of it this way....The tall skinny phones are the equivalent of reading a long grocery receipt. Sure, there's lots of items on the screen, but at what cost? The wider phones, like mine at 16:9, are like reading a paperback book (or looking at my tv, laptop, and desktop monitor). Both have many words but one is easier on the ole eyes than the other. And I understand that movies are going to 18:9, and that's tolerable, but needs to stop there. That aspect ratio and skinnier are similar to the panoramic photo thing- which is cool but that's not how you take all of your pictures, right? So why would you want all your movies and videos like that? Next time you watch a video on your 20:9 phone measure the actual video diagonally and tell me how much screen you're actually using. You're certainly not using all of your 6.2" or whatever screen size your phone measures. In landscape my videos are the whole 6" x 3" screen. In portrait the videos are almost 3" wide....and I can still read the words easily underneath that video. I'd need a giant phone to get that same viewing window in the taller aspect ratios, which really is just too much device to lug around. I'm telling you...if someone puts out a "Retro" 16:9 phone with good specs people would buy it.
I cannot believe how garbage this industry has gone. 16:9 IS the absolute best gold ratio. Looking at my old Xiaomi Max I get the same screen size as watching my TV whenever I carry it at eye level. Consuming content on Youtube and websites is GOLDEN.
I am so sad I cannot find a better equivalent that is available in Europe.
I dream about 26:9 ratio. That would be awesome!!!
Nope not at all. I agree with all that 16:9 is the best as most videos on YouTube is 16:9 all the are 16:9, 18:9 is still not too bad as like someone mentioned above some or a lot of Netflix content is 18:9 ok but that's maximum. There's no need for any taller screens. I've got mi max 3 and love this phone! At the beginnings I didn't like it's 18:9 but got used to it. I only wish they make something with slightly wider screen which would still fit into my phone and actually still could be narrower with no bezels cos on mine the bezels are still quite thick about 4 mm each side.
Or if they make foldable smart phone with about 7.5" to 8" unfolded screen, when folded used as a smart phone and unfolded as a tablet that would be awesome.
I went from a 16:9 Nexus 6 to a 16:9 Nokia 6.1. I just bought the OnePlus 7 Pro (new, $450, 8/256gb) and with the huge screen, bezel free, and notch free, I feel it is the best you can but now to substitute for a real 16:9 phone.
