    Definitely the top, otherwise I am misclicking the tooolbar.

    But also, I am mostly a landscape smartphone user. Which is why I’d prefer 16:9 instead of whatever the hell this wide thing is. But with bezels. You can hold onto a bezel with thumb. Also a separate navigation button like I had on my Moto G5s Plus 🥰.

        Also permanently enabled Desktop mode on browser.

        But I also increased minimum width in developer settings from default 395dp to 705dp. 600dp and above is considered a tablet by apps. Fits so much content on 1 screen.

          Is it comfortable? From my experience landscape suffers from issues like the ui taking up a lot more screen space and the keyboard being hard to use.

          • That depends on what apps you use. But for example YouTube app in tablet mode looks nicer in landscape:

            In phone mode you can only view comments/live chat in portrait mode.

            In tablet mode, this is often the other way around. Some comparisons:

            Google Photos

            Phone mode:

            Tablet mode:

            YouTube

            Phone mode:

            Tablet mode:

            Google Mail

            Phone mode:

            Tablet mode:

            etc.

    Top. Always top. That’s where all the tools I need for an application should be. Bottom area is for system tools.

    It keeps things nicely separated, less risk of fat fingering something I don’t want to hit.

      I would only use top on a <4" phone. Currently using a 2017 Samsung J530F with a 5.4" 16:9 screen (significantly lower than most made today)
