On my 6.5" Samsung Galaxy A51 screen, the text is indeed small, but I can easily read it. In landscape mode ('Auto rotate' is on), it's even easier. N.B. I have variable-focal (spelling?) glasses. Samsung Internet should be up-to-date (28.0.0.59), because automatic updates are on for Galaxy Store apps. Google Chrome is 'old' (127.0.6533.103), because automatic updates are off for (Google) Play Store apps.
