      Its amazing how gsmarena dont even mentioned other 18:9 phone like LG and such. The world of 18:9 is always Samsung or Apple for them.

        No wonder the button for the zoom-to-fit function in my S8+ disappeared. Took me days to figure out whether it was really a bug on the phone's software or the app itself...

I wonder why still they didn't understand this simple matter! For example I made it: a car that enabled to injector when we don't have super benzine!

              Am i the only one thinking that watching videos/movies with black bar on top and bottom is better to give more dramatic/cinema feels?

                Anonymous, 17 Nov 2017I watch video with black bars rather than cropped video.. Or better jet, just try to avoid 18:9 screens. I do, along with all the other ridiculous compromises, like lack of 3.5mm jack, curved screens, notches (And everything Apple).

                    Anonymous, 17 Nov 2017There is no, No, NO contents with 2:1 A.ratioYea...And for those who always say "this or that is the future" - well, we always live in the present, not the future. Solar power may be the future too, but you don't rely on it just yet.

                          LOL cropped is even worse than having black bars.
                          18:9 Is just ridiculous. Smaller than 16:9 and even smaller if you have black bars.
