Daft as it seems, that's become the industry standard way to specify it, and this is far from the first phone to use it. It's like 16:10 monitors, presumably so people can more easily compare with 16:9, or perhaps because bigger numbers are 'better' in specs. Whatever the reason, if you're aiming to have the specs comparable to other phones it needs to stay 18:9.
