If you put most book-style foldable phones next to each other, you'll notice a trend. Most of them are tall and narrow when closed, which allows them to be a bit more square when unfolded. To me, this has always felt like the wrong design decision, as it was one that tried to stick as close to a "regular" smartphone design rather than playing to the strengths of a book-style foldable.
That is until the original Google Pixel Fold came along in 2023. Oft-rumored and substantially delayed past its original release, the Pixel Fold opted for a squat, wide design that unfolded into a landscape almost 16:9 aspect ratio, much more closely mimicking a tablet than other book-style foldables.
