    The problem I have is not so much how well they sit in my hand, but if I can reach everything on screen with one hand without having to shift the phone around or resting it somewhere. I have huge, way above average pianist hands (they make Xbox controllers look small). I can’t do it higher than ~6.5 inches, and it’s way easier under 6.2.

      I believe there is an app that helps with that. From what I remember you could do some gesture to get a cursor in the top part of the screen so you could press that.

      I’d like to add that it’s not my preference but I feel like I should share it with you in case it could be of use.

        Oh yeah, both Android and iOS have a one-handed mode. You do some gesture and it temporarily pulls the top of the screen midway down so you can interact with it. It’s indeed useful, but if you have to use it too much, it’s IMHO a failure of usability.

          Yes, I agree with that. Failure of usability.
