Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I quickly shift my hand to the top of the screen to access my notifications. I have gotten used to it by this point, but I still really miss phones that are usable by only one hand.
S22+
I can drag my thumb down anywhere on my home screen to bring down the notifications. Then notifications are in bottom 2/3 of screen.
There is hardly a reason I need to reach the top 1/3 of my phone
Something like typing in a URL in a web browser
But that small inconvenience where I have to shift my hand isn't worth me losing a big screen
I can still do everything one handed

I develop severe carpal tunnel syndromes.
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

I guess just big hands? I use a case which improve grips, but also makes the phone largerer, but IMO it's worth the extra protection.
I've always used 2 hands with my smart phones, even smaller ones. So bigger phones have never been a problem.
I'm not a circus ~~midget~~ little person.
My phone has built-in grip ridges around the edges and back.
S23 Ultra (6.4"x3"), the spigen thin fit case is pretty good for grip. It allows me to use my fingers in the back as a pivot to rotate the phone and move it around to be able to bring my thumb to the top. When texting i often use swipe with the thumb which allows me to write fast, unless i know i'll be writing alot, then i switch to two handed.
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 a S23U and edge panels to open up new apps and one hand operation + to make gestures from the edges helps me navigate with one hand.
Big hands and just install Quick Actions
Fold it in half. Or use 2 hands unfolded.
I got cursed with big, thick, hands so I can use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with one hand…
Imagine being a woman with very being hands, not funny at all
