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?

Edit:

a few other answers:

just use both hands, get an accessory, and/or balance on pinky and develop the toughest pinky imaginable

bonus:

find some smol phone you like and savor it for as long as it works

    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.

    OnePlus8 - pinky.

    For most apps I have opted for “toolbar at the bottom”. Along with my pinky, it works at least for me.

    And I have large hands too, but that’s besides the point.

    A couple of things help me:

    1. Having bigger hands for a start
    2. Native gestures
    3. Extra gestures using specific apps

    That last one is the best deal

    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.

    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.

    Even closed, the top of the screen I’d a reach with the thumb, with the pinky supporting the bottom. Opened full size I have to rotate the phone to get my thumb to the top if I need to swipe down. Otherwise it’s just a 2 handed affair.

    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
