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 unofficial but it uses a Generic System Image (GSI), basically a non-device-specific version of LOS that's installed on top of the device's stock kernel/drivers. The only hardware that seems to be unsupported is the auto-brightness sensor and the rear LEDs. Resources here. I've been using mine with F-Droid and MicroG instead of google services and it works great, no stability issues at all.
