The Return of the Wide Phone
On August 20, 2026, Huawei released a phone with a 16:9.5 screen. That ratio was last mainstream when the iPhone 4s was new. Since then, phone screens have stretched: from 16:9 to 19.5:9, and now some models push 21:9. The logic sounds reasonable – make the screen larger, but not wider, so it stays one‑handed.

The underlying science came from Professor Duan Lian’s team at Tsinghua University, but the engineering – the brutal, yield‑driven work of turning a lab thesis into millions of shipping units – that was Xiaomi’s bet.
