Nah, I have average hand size and can use that size phone with one hand easily. Though I do prefer smaller phones in general and would rather see more choice in that space.

Lol, I call BS.

You clearly don't have "average size hands" unless you're excluding women from that calculus.

Even then, an average man probably can't use a 6" screen one handed. Why else do they ship with "one handed mode" on devices?

Yeah average male hand sorry. Female hands is another reason we need small phones, that and the illegally small pocket sizes they have to put up with!

I can use it one handed, its not the most comfortable thing for every task, but doable. I would not want a phone any larger though.

Pockets at least you can expand, I do it on all my clothing.

I can only reach about 5" with the thumb, while holding the phone. But not the opposite edge. Average male hand.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

Yeah if you keep the same grip, if I change grip I can reach everywhere, though smaller would definitely be easier and more comfortable.
