I use one handed mode on my phone all the time because the damn thing is so fucking big. I can't even reach the toolbar with my baby hands. I had no choice but to buy this one cause it was the only one with decent battery in my price range. If I didn't have a purse it'd be impossible to carry it's like a brick in my pocket. It strains my wrist a little from it's sheer weight. Wtf is going on

I wish even 6" was an option, these days 6.3" is considered small. I would've pogged up for the Zenfone 10 if the software support wasn't so decroded

I was turned awya from the zenfone 10 after Asus backed out on their promise to expose the bootloader. So I've just been using my zenfone 9 and will until I can't anymore

Yeah I might've made my peace with the bootloader thing if they'd offered at least 5 years of updates, but 2??? And of course the 11 is back to "normal" phone size

I prefer to avoid updates. They always just enshittify my phone anyway. Fewer updates is a feature imo

There's still version dependent security improvements which aren't great to miss out on
