Created attachment 14918 [details] Normal thumbnails on Nexus 7, portrait mode On larger devices, especially tablets, images in articles are usually too small. This is usually even more dramatic in landscape mode, even when the layout switches to having the images and text next to each other. It's even more dramatic when the images have the 'upright' parameter, which makes the mobile images extra small. See attached screenshots from a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7.

I've created a new story card in Mingle to track new work on this as this is an enhancement (https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1824). This is likely something we'll need to tackle before we start automatically redirecting tablets to MobileFrontend.
In the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rittergut_K%C3%BCrbitz article the image at the top is declared in wikitext using: [[File:Rittergut Kürbitz um 1860.jpg|thumb|The feudal estate, around 1860]] It seems when no width parameter is given it defaults to 220px. Maybe it should default to something higher? I'm not sure where this is configured though... but not much we can do in MobileFrontend.
Make images on large screens float like on desktop?
