What is the OBJECTIVELY CORRECT way to hold your phone in landscape?

Post by Eyestabber »

As most of you know, I recently bought the G8 Galileo and am currently waiting its delivery. One thing of note about the controller is that the USB-C connector forces the phone to stay with the selfie camera to the left, the USB port to the right and buttons on top. Interestingly enough, an older model from Gamesir itself had the USB-C facing the opposite direction and was heavily criticized for it. OTOH I also bought Xcom 2 for Android and that game forces your phone into landscape mode with the selfie camera to the RIGHT. Since I believe truth is objective, I ask the HQ community: what is the CORRECT way to use a phone in landscape mode?

Disclaimer: I always held my phone with the charging port/USB to the right.

Any other way is probably for people with deformed hands.

There is never a reason to have your phone in landscape mode.
Unless you don't want a video you take to look retarded when played on anything but a phone.

Nobody should be using their phones to take a video. Cameras should be removed from most phones.

Neither of these describe an Iphone
Instructions not 100% suited for NPC-phone, NPC-user fails to understand them. Typical.

Right? Feral is catering to to the disabled. Fuck, can't refund the game anymore.

The proper way to hold a phone is by the HANDLE. Stop being a phonetard. Use a real computer to play vidya. Phones are for phoning.

If you record video in vertical, you are some kind of TikTok tier nutcase that needs to be restrained.
