Use cases and preferences differ. Splitting Android between an 8" tablet at home and a phone carry about, for years I thought a 5" 16:9 ZTE had the right balance of view with handhold and pocketability. A good price on a replacement 6" Moto with 18:9 kept the hand comfort while still nearly as pocketable - the extra screen real estate is not a big deal, but the nice AMOLED screen is. A third-party launcher adjusts icon sizes and app access. I'd suspect (without knowing) the 20:9 ratio is over-the-top and probably would not buy one.

Well if you had to buy a new one "yes" you would buy a 20:9, because that is all that is being made now. I know. I searched high and low, even from foreign companies. ALL of the top tier phones are now 20:9

BTW, Im getting used to the screen size of my new phone, and it has really been a great phone. But even now, Id give $100 to trade it for the exact same phone with the screen being 1/2" wider...
