Gives more options for cropping whilst editing

The sensor though is slightly larger than 4:3 because it's actually 25mp.
16:9 makes use of full width.
4:3 makes use of full height.
No option uses 100% of the usable area of the sensor.

The sensor is apparently 1/2.3" and 23MP.
I'll use 4:3 but can't help thinking that 16:9 looks better on the phone's screen.

23mp is the maximum mp that can be used at any one time.
See here.

4:3 portraits and 16:9 landscape just my preference but the images that this device produces. Arguable. Questionable.
