Landscape

Phone

You're a monster

Also permanently enabled Desktop mode on browser.

But I also increased minimum width in developer settings from default 395dp to 705dp. 600dp and above is considered a tablet by apps. Fits so much content on 1 screen.

Is it comfortable? From my experience landscape suffers from issues like the ui taking up a lot more screen space and the keyboard being hard to use.

That depends on what apps you use. But for example YouTube app in tablet mode looks nicer in landscape:

In phone mode you can only view comments/live chat in portrait mode.

In tablet mode, this is often the other way around. Some comparisons:

Google Photos

Phone mode:

Tablet mode:

YouTube

Google Mail

etc.

I mean, if your phone is a >6" monster, tablet mode makes sense... (I can't stand modern phones without replaceable batteries, bezels and a tactile Home button)
