Is it comfortable? From my experience landscape suffers from issues like the ui taking up a lot more screen space and the keyboard being hard to use.

That depends on what apps you use. But for example YouTube app in tablet mode looks nicer in landscape:

In phone mode you can only view comments/live chat in portrait mode.

In tablet mode, this is often the other way around. Some comparisons:

Google Photos

Phone mode:

Tablet mode:

YouTube

Phone mode:

Tablet mode:

Google Mail

Tablet mode:

etc.

I mean, if your phone is a >6" monster, tablet mode makes sense... (I can't stand modern phones without replaceable batteries, bezels and a tactile Home button)

I think all phones above 6" are oversized. I would prefer a >5mm thick 5" 16:9 phone to any made today. I use a 5.4" phone and I'm still a Firefox bottom.
