Hi! 
Screenshots show the main English Wikipedia page and a random article with the screen zoomed all the way in but still unreadable. 
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F

the default autosizing scales text not enough, it only considered when double-tap, the column text's size will be large enough, but in normal whole page mode, text size is a little too small

Wow, that looks really bad.  Definitely not happening for me in Chrome 56 (though I don't have that specific device).

This is happening on most websites?  And uninstalling then reinstalling Chrome doesn't fix it?  That's shocking.  What if you install Chrome Dev (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.dev&hl=en), still happens there?

+eae@ for text layout
