![]() However, the “mini” tablet segment is more likely to be used as readers – or for reading websites that are more prone to a single vertical column.Īpple is the only brand with more landscape orientation. There are certain applications that also force the user to use landscape orientation such as Netflix and YouTube which are more likely used more on larger tablets for viewing pleasure. Larger tablets are more likely to be used akin to a desktop computer with users purchasing a keyboard and using it in landscape orientation because the screen size is naturally bigger. (The 8 to 9” category is the only exception to this trend, but it is still 17% higher than the large smartphone category). Landscape usage continues to grow as tablet size increases. Moving from the large smartphones to the “mini” tablet size (7-8”), there is an immediate 34% increase in landscape orientation usage. ![]() The trend continues to grow and with it we see that the screen size of the most used smartphones (5.5 to 6” and 6 to 6.5”) directly correlates to the sizes with the highest use of portrait orientation.Īs you transition from the large smartphone size (6.5” to 7”), you encounter two tablet categories:ġ) smaller “mini” tablets (less than 9″ diagonal screen size), andĢ) full-size, larger tablets (over 9″ diagonal screen size). Smartphone screen sizes of 5.5 to 6” grew from only being 7.5% in 2014 to 43.3% in 2017, which is a monumental increase in the percentage of them in the market. In 2017 Q2, only 4.2% of all tablets were shown to be <7” in size which most likely explains the increasing trend in landscape orientation usage. Most smartphones are used in portrait orientation, with the most popular size (6 to 6.5”) showing 91% portrait usage. Smartphone vs Tablet Orientation: Who’s using what? ![]() In the MOVR 2017 Q2 report, we have updated a study that measures the orientation at the time we detect the device (usually the initial page load). We need websites that can predict and that adapt to a user’s orientation. Why is this important? Ultimately, what we need is versatility among the tablets and smartphones of today and tomorrow. Will see if I can find it.Smartphones and Tablets have become a part of our everyday lives, but how are they typically held and used? People use both Portrait and Landscape orientation to conduct their everyday tasks such as watching a video, taking a picture or even browsing the internet from their device. I also think there's an old post on these forums about this. If you find this is the case, the site needs to fix their css to not force landscape mode. To test if it's a problem, delete size: landscape from the css file (the css is editable there) and try hitting ctrl + p again to see if it then shows the layout drop-down to switch between landscape and portrait. If so, I think Chromium honors that strictly without a way to override it. Then, on the "sources" tab, look at the page's css files and see if you can find something like: landscape I want my print options back so that I can print invoices properly.īurnout426 Volunteer last edited by When you're on the invoice page you want to print, close the print dialog if it's open, hit ctrl + shift + i to open the developer tools. If you give a website some trust or some rope, they'll hang you with it. (bad form, IMO) Generally when you allow websites to decide what you can see - like if you have a mouse cursor, or whether menu and address bars are there, or whether to go fullscreen, etc - some scammer comes along and combines all the features into a way to trick elderly people and computer novices into paying them money. So I'm assuming there's either some intuitive AI settings thingy at work (which should be disabled IMO - just show me all the options) or they've enabled something that lets websites choose what you can and can't see. Most still have the option to change the layout. I get a smaller portrait page printed landscape with a white bar on the right! Oy! If I force it to Portrait in my printer drivers. Opera forces them to be Landscape (across 3 pages) when previously the invoice fit on one. ![]() I am having the same problem on some websites, like Newegg.
