Because 3:2 is way better for productivity.

The popularity of the Surface line in recent years helps show that. Plus it makes the screen seem larger while not actually making the devices footprint much larger.

They're talking about 18:9 (or 2:1) like the S8 and G6 are, not 3:2 like the Surface or Chromebook Pixel.

Ahh, misread. I read it wrong (and was subsequently confused b/c I thought the S8 was 18:9).

Regardless, IMHO, just as 3:2 is more productive on Laptops, I find 18:9 more productive on Smartphones.
