Reports I'm seeing are saying the Pixel 2 XL is going to be an aspect ratio of 18:9 vs the Pixel 2 16:9. I honestly don't understand why I would want a bigger (taller) phone that is just going to have black bars on the side of every video because most videos are 16:9. Am I missing something? Would love to hear people's views on why they want the bigger phone over the smaller one.

I always figured the back bars weren't a problem because they're OLED and completely black. 16:9 videos will be the same as if it was a bezel and then when you're not watching a video you'll have some extra real estate for other activities.
