Landscape/portrait consistency

Open smtchahal opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Why do some screen sizes have larger widths than heights but others don't? For instance, as of d171cb23faf080e0537e8bddd41526942bf0421c, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has a resolution of 3840x2160 in screens.json, so if you click on that device name on the web app, you get a landscape "preview" of the device screen. But Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge has a saved resolution of 1400x2560, so clicking on that device name gives you a portrait preview.

This is confusing IMHO. Can we/do we have a consensus on which orientation (landscape or portrait) to use? Maybe we could have landscape orientation for tablets but portrait for phones?

Probably just portrait for phones and whatever orientation is typical for other devices (e.g. a Nexus 10 would be landscape, but an iPad would be portrait).
