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

It's infuriating as most womens clothes don't come with good pockets and all the accesories you can wear as carry space has to get bigger and bigger due to the phone taking so much space. My current phone has been dying on me for months and I have a (bigger) replacement ready to go, but I am postponing using it as much as I can as the size annoys me so much. I like to hike and go for walks and I hate carrying a bigger bag of some kind to have the phone on me along with a water bottle. When they were smaller, it used to fit in my tiny belt bag with a water bottle and keys. The new ones don't.

The huge phone also legitimately restricts range of motion if it is in a pant pocket. You can't squat or do anything with it there. Or it just falls out.

Still remember the early days of mobile phones where it getting smaller was the signifier of a better product. It's annoying it went completely the other way with smartphones.

Conspiracy by big pant, big phone, and big bag for people to have to buy a handbag to hold their tablet sized phones because their pant pockets are too small and their phones are the length of their femur.
