Description
Originally reported by @rustyshelf
I suspect the phone is using width as an input on how to pad/size things, rather than using height as well? All the player controls feel too cramped at the bottom, and could use more padding between the elements:

(the screenshot doesn't do it justice, it's very cramped and odd feeling on the device)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the cramped player controls on a tall phone such as the Z Flip 3, then locate the player controls layout and inspect how width and height affect padding and sizing. Done means the controls are evenly spaced and no longer feel cramped at the bottom on tall phones.
