So with the new phone aspect ratios, we need some kind of standard for measuring screen size. A 6" screen at 16.9 and a 6" screen with 18.5:9 are not the same size. They should probably just start detailing as WxH.
This was brought up because I'm trying to decide between the S8 and S8+. At least on AT&T, the difference in price is down to $50 (so like $2 a month if you do the 2 year payment plan). Since the only difference is size, I'm trying to compare to my Note 4. I don't want to downsize my screen size much, but would love a smaller phone overall. S8+ is taller, but narrower. Gonna have to stop by Best Buy and look into it.
