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

I have a galaxy a50 from 2019 and it's still an ok size. It's funny that these days people envy me for it, because it's still a bit smaller. A shame that it's now literally coming apart at the seams.

In my mind the galaxy 2 I had was already plenty big. It was still a phone you could put in a pocket. Then I had the S5 neo and that wasn't too bad yet either.
