For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories?

ALostInquirer@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 79 points –

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?

::: spoiler a few other answers: just use both hands, get an accessory, and/or balance on pinky and develop the toughest pinky imaginable ::: spoiler bonus: find some smol phone you like and savor it for as long as it works :::

I don't. Popsocket all the way. Even big men with big hands can't one hand these phones anymore.

I want a small phone with an OLED 1080 display that is supported by lineage OS and has a headphone jack. That's all I want, I don't care about processor or ram being mid, mediocre camera is fine, I need decent storage though, or an SD slot.

I have a s22+

I always get told I have piano fingers

I used to use a popsocket, but I switched to a phone wallet

Back, Home, and Recent tabs are all on the bottom with a simple swipe up.

I keep my phone resting on my pinky

With it like that, my thumb can reach 2/3 of the way to the top.

Placing my pinky under the phone, I can reach my thumb to the top left corner.

Most of the time, I never need to reach up there

But as for typing, I typed this whole thing one handed

I enjoy the big screen

Thank you for the actual, technical explanation.

My girlfriend loves her iPhone mini

She has small baby hands

I can curl my fingers over the tops of hers if we matched up hands

Mini feels so small in my hands and I don't know if it's just the different keyboard, but I can't type on it very well

So I could even see that as a downside of me going to a smaller phone
