Assuming an advanced display of the 42S which could be 26 chars by 6 ore more(*) lines, this would be a very reasonable resolution for a non graphical calculator. Don't compare it with current smartphones or the Prime

(*) 6 lines or more could be:
1. the complete stack
2. Last X ?
3. One permanent menu line, perhaps one line for sub-menus

If you compare the preliminary layout with a real 42, you'll see that the space for the keyboard is almost the same size as on the original. All of the wasted real estate on the 42S is now used for the large screen, that's really clever. Provided the price is somewhere in the magnitude Massimo has announced, I'll definitely buy one. I don't need any calculator any more, but I surely must have this one

Sorry, I can't imagine how a landscape format could come even close.
