      True, but on the other hand, phone screens used to be 16:9 and have larger borders around them. A 21:9 6" phone of today is roughly the same physical size as a 5" phone of 5 years ago.

      It’s also true that phone are actually getting bigger and bigger by the year, and I don’t really like that

        I don’t want thin bezels - thick left & right ones improve fall protection, while top & bottom ones are a resting place for fingers in landscape mode & allow for physical navigation buttons and a full rectangular screen without notches or rounded corners. Also a smaller screen inherently consumes less power at the same brightness.

        5" 16:9 is 110×62 mm
        6" 21:9 is 140×60 mm, not accounting for shenenigans like rounded corners that technically decrease the diagonal

        I prefer the former, and I’m thus using a 2017 5.2" Samsung Galaxy J5 I got for $50 and upgraded to Android 10.
