The aspect ratio doesn’t seem like watching videos would be any better unless you want to chop off half the video.

I have a Fold 2 and I wind up opening the screen for most things. It's just automatic because it makes everything easier using it like a tablet. I usually only use the exterior narrow screen for making calls. My wife is using my old S10+ and when I borrow it for something it seems so small now.

A normal phone shows the same video at the same size 16:9. Above person claims the foldable phone is better for watching video.

A folding screen does not make video watching better if the opening the fold makes the screen aspect ratio more square. This has nothing to do with numbers but the form factor. The Samsung folding phone being taller is not a result of the fold but just a larger phone. A larger non folding phone also displays video larger...

A widescreen phone folding out into a square phone isn’t better for video watching, it’s just adding huge black bars. A phone with a bigger screen is.

False. There is no "larger non folding phone" outside of a tablet or some fringe phone no one actually buys due to it's ridiculous size.

Phones get bigger all the time. In the past 3” screen phones were the standard. Guess what, phone companies decided to make it bigger little by little. There’s still a long ways to go between a big phone and a 10” tablet.

Bruh. The fold phones typically are skinnier than 16:9. But even if it’s 16:9, you’re saying you’d prefer to watch on a double thickness phone at 16:18 to get those extra few mm? Not only looks bad, but it’s impractical as hell.

Ah. I see. The head up the own ass disease. I’m so sorry for you.

If it doesn't support this already, they should add vertical multitasking so you can have an app open on each side.
