Android Central‘s Alex Dobie made this point to me in the buildup to Samsung’s Galaxy S8 launch yesterday: a 5.8-inch phone with the S8’s elongated 18.5:9 aspect ratio doesn’t have the same size screen as a 5.8-inch phone with the traditional 16:9. The two might share the same diagonal measurement, but in terms of area, the S8’s screen would be smaller. That’s because the change in aspect ratio breaks the linear scale by which we’ve compared almost all smartphones to date. If every rectangle has the same aspect ratio — the relationship between its height and width — then knowing its diagonal measurement gives us a rough way to compare or at least rank those rectangles by size.
Samsung and LG have broken from the industry convention with...
