tomster Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My Huawei Mate 8 is (very sadly) coming to the end of it's useful life. ???? I hate skinny phones - they are <deleted>. Tried using a couple and the user experience, for me at least, is just rubbish compared to 16:9. Has anybody found a phone here with 16:9 resolution? Not overly bothered about specs just want something that makes websites look half way reasonable on mobile and for video, which is mostly what I use the phone for nowadays. Thanks in advance.

Eindhoven Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Will be mostly old models from 2017/2018. So none updated past Android 10. Most will be Android 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Any? Isn't FullHD (1920*1080) still pretty standard for cheaper smartphones. I have Samsung J7+, a couple of years old. Screen is 7*12 cm, FullHD resolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the relation to the Android version? Display and Android version are two independent features. Edited May 10, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Looks like new phones with 16:9 are rare/hard to find. Most seem to be ~19:9/20:9 ("smaller" compared to 16:9). Edited May 10, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to buy a phone from 2017/18, as I wrote before, to get 16:9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly high resolutions making no difference to the eye. Edited May 10, 2021 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
