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:

YouTube

Google Mail

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)
