Public bug reported:

The browser respects neither pixels nor physical (cm) sizes.

Specifying a rectangle with width: 558px takes up the whole width of the
screen in portrait whereas 559px in landscape mode, even though
according to spec of the BQ Aquaris E5 (on which I tried this), the
resolution should be  720 x 1280 (and not 558x559 !)

Specyifying a rectangle with width: 5cm in CSS shows as approx 2.2cm in
portrait mode and 3.7 cm in landscape mode.

It is my understanding that in a browser, either the pixel count matches
or the physical dimension. In the present case, none of them match.

In particular, in the present case, the user-visible effect is that on
many web pages, the fonts are unreadably small when viewed in portrait
mode...

What I expect to happen:
   Either the CSS pixel count or the physical dimensions (cm, inches) specified in CSS should be honored
   Scale should not change by turning the phone

What happened instead:
  Neither CSS pixel count nor physical dimensions are honored
  Text becomes smaller when viewing in portrait
