Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?
I develop severe carpal tunnel syndromes.
I’m not a circus midget little person.
I got cursed with big, thick, hands so I can use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with one hand…
Imagine being a woman with very being hands, not funny at all
I just use two hands, is it really that hard to do? I’ve been using the bigger iphone for ages now since whenever they were introduced and I like it, I can’t imagine ever going back to a small baby phone.
What do you do when you run? Does it fit in running short pockets?
I generally walk, and I don’t own any running shorts, so that’s not really a problem, but if I ever wore running shorts that’d probably be an issue I guess. Don’t they have some sort of phone straps you can attach your phone to your arm or something? It’d probably look almost comical strapped to an arm, but that might fit better than I’d imagine it would in running shorts.
These are the absolute best : www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002403433976.html
I quickly shift my hand to the top of the screen to access my notifications. I have gotten used to it by this point, but I still really miss phones that are usable by only one hand.
S22+
I can drag my thumb down anywhere on my home screen to bring down the notifications. Then notifications are in bottom 2/3 of screen.
There is hardly a reason I need to reach the top 1/3 of my phone
Something like typing in a URL in a web browser
But that small inconvenience where I have to shift my hand isn’t worth me losing a big screen
I can still do everything one handed
Some of these features aren’t on my model, the Galaxy A32.
I choose the largest screen size my hand can comfortably wrangle
I guess just big hands? I use a case which improve grips, but also makes the phone largerer, but IMO it’s worth the extra protection.
Fold it in half. Or use 2 hands unfolded.
Galaxy fold is a 2 hand phone.
I just always use two hands for typing though. Did on the Pixel 2xl before it as well. Pop sockets/ rings seem kinda silly to me but it’s whatever people find comfortable.
S23 Ultra (6.4"x3"), the spigen thin fit case is pretty good for grip. It allows me to use my fingers in the back as a pivot to rotate the phone and move it around to be able to bring my thumb to the top. When texting i often use swipe with the thumb which allows me to write fast, unless i know i’ll be writing alot, then i switch to two handed.
I daily a wide ass phablet
I use both hands
I like your description, it gives me a fun image of a phablet case with a soft big butt on the back like some mousepads with wrist cushions
There’s a relevant xkcd
I’ve always used 2 hands with my smart phones, even smaller ones. So bigger phones have never been a problem.
I have a S23U and edge panels to open up new apps and one hand operation + to make gestures from the edges helps me navigate with one hand.
Big hands and just install Quick Actions
i have the lg velvet still, not sure if you would consider it large or not, but i cannot do everything one handed. even when i used a case i never had one of those rings or knobs, i had to use both hands to do everything. i believe it has a ‘one hand’ feature, but im too suborn to even try it
My phone (S21 5g) has a one handed mode, but it’s so not fun to use that I just wait until I can type with my other hand
yeah, that was kinda my first thought when i seen the setting

It probably depends on how big your hands are, but I just hold it. It there’s something I can’t reach with one hand, I activate single-handed mode (swiping down on the gesture pill thing will do that on my phone).
My phone rests on my pinky, it’s not all that heavy. I’ve grown a smartphone divet in the side of my pinky and I’ve seen similar divets on other people’s hands.
I wish more apps would be designed for how big phones are these days. Every time I’m force to leave Firefox I ask myself how I could ever gave used a browser with the address bar at the top of the screen.
