Doesn't that "feeling" though kinda confirm that it's an illusion of screen space when you can measure the diagonal image on a normal phone and see that it's the same?

I just measured a couple videos with a tape measure lmao

So the typical video Fullscreen is about 6.69 inches almost the size of the iPhone 15 Pro Max at 6.7, unfolded. I should have measured my PF1 the same way while I had it LMAO

The irony is the old school squareish 4:3 videos are WAY bigger (just a hair over 7) so retro emulation is probably great on it LMAO

So its not taking full advantage of the screen size, but you're still able to enjoy media at a size that most can only enjoy on their phone if they can handle the absolute biggest phones

That being said, that's really one use case, for me the biggest reasons to unfold has been accessing remote desktops, reading, productivity and some gaming and "remotely remote working" lol
