I have a friend who watches entire movies on his phone. It appalls me, but a lot of people do it.
This comes to mind https://youtu.be/wKiIroiCvZ0
Meh, I've got a 4k phone with Dolby atmos. I'm fine watching a movie on it. As a technophile and audiophile, it's hitting everything it needs to hit for me. I do prefer to watch in my VR headset overall, but VR headsets are still only up to the equivalent of 1080p at a comfortable field of view. Still pretty good, but the main upside for VR is perfect 3D, I'm one of the weirdos that likes 3D.
But, I do get that at the time of this recording, he had a 4-6 inch diagonal phone with a single tinny speaker and 576p screen in mind, and that would indeed not be a great way to watch a movie. Though if people like it, no real reason to be snobby to them about it, they just don't care about the same thing he does/we do.
