"massive 6.95-inch display with a wide aspect ratio of 20.5:9"
6.95 is not massive and 20.5:9 is actually one of the narrowest ratios out there (next to 21/9 on Sony) – what you get is a narrow display with a misleading "massive" diagonal (nevermind some of that getting consumed in the corner curves which are included-actual flat usable area is less). A 5.7" diagonal at the old 1920×1080 16/9 format gets you the same screen width as this "massive" screen 🙂
Same goes for axon 30 5g 6.92 at 2460×1080, infinix note 10 pro, tecno pova 2…list goes on-all utilizing narrow aspect ratio screens with (misleading) diagonal sizes. Vivo nex 3s had a supposed 6.89 diagonal screen-measure the actual flat usable area of the screen and the width was less than some of the smaller phones. For massive, go to Huawei x10max, mate 20x or even 2013 xperia ultra z or the 2016 asus zenfone ultra or Oukitel K9. (for that matter any phone before the 2340×1080 and narrower era)
