| flagship phones for one handed use please? why i switched from a OnePlus 6 to a Samsung Galaxy S20 Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:44 AM PDT I hope I'm not breaking the rules of this sub by posting my personal take on switching to smaller form factor device and i hope this will help anyone else who might have been on the fence like me. Some background: I'm grateful to be able to afford a new high end phone every two years even though i actually don't need an upgrade. I realize that phones mean different things to different people. For some it is their only or all-in-one media and compute device. Again, I'm thankful to have devices of different factors - a laptop, a tablet and an e-reader. My daily phone usage (90%, in descending order of screen time): The remaining 10% is for occasional shopping via the amazon app, or for making nfc payments. My OP6 has served me very well in general, however, for things like quick messaging, or involving selecting items on screen, Ive had to always use two hands*. It gets a little annoying to have to use my phone with more than one hand. The phones I've owned thus far: The Nexus 5 is the last phone i remember having used with one hand. Coming to the present, I was on the fence on whether or not to get the OP8/OP8 Pro. What tipped me towards getting an S20 instead was that I could get a competitively priced* s20, that came with all the tier 1 specs, and most importantly was smaller than my existing OP6. Even though the difference is negligible on paper, the smaller width of the S20 allows me to grip the device completely with one hand, and I can reach most of the screen with my thumb. I've had the phone for about a day now and am confident that I can use it one hand at-least 60% of the time. I don't trust my hands too much so, I'm waiting on getting a thin case before i completely transition to using the S20. I want to hear the thoughts from the android community on phone sizes, how important is the ability to use the phone with one hand, and, how you're coping with increasingly larger phones? link to potato quality side-by-side photo: https://imgur.com/a/XitcxCC Peace. * my pre-emptive answer related one hand vs. two hand phone usage: i sadly fall in the minority of users who do not have full motor control of both hands (limited dexterity on one hand). i am effectively 1.75 handed. * US pricing: S20 5g 12gb/128gb/SD865 - $690 unlocked, pretax from Samsung.com no trade-in (pricing ineligible for trade-in). Pricing may have been temporary or an error as im no longer able to get the same discounts. Edit:clarified pricing information [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:06 AM PDT Pixel 4a is launching soon it may have a good camera but no way will it have the same processing power as the se 2020. The k30 pro base variant (6/64) is 400-ish over at china it has the processing power but not the best camera. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:23 AM PDT I've used Android exclusively since Jellybean, but I'm getting sick of the phones getting larger and larger. Many of us use phones for physical work, and need a device we can keep in a pocket that is rugged and small enough to not flex or crush when we lean on it. With phones above 5.5" this is damn near impossible, unless you put a honking Otterbox/etc on it... which defeats the purpose of a phone that is easily accessible from a pocket. I work in electrical contracting, and the number of times I've seen a coworker destroy a phone by having it flex while we're crawling around under a building is ridiculous. Some of us need fully-featured phones (both wifi bands, NFC, LTE, modern version of Android) but you cannot even get a <5" device that has all of this anymore. Remember the original (2013) MotoX? It was the perfect size (4.7"), and it was a flagship of the time so it had absolutely everything but the lamented IR-blaster. After the Nexus3, Android phones just started getting larger and it never stopped. I went out and bought six 2013 MotoXs off ebay, unlocked and ran modded 5.1 Lollipop on them, and have been delicately gingering them throughout 6 years of work. I'm on my last one... she's wearing out, so here I am looking for a new phone again, frustrated at the choices. Just look at the new iPhone SE 2020 -- it's that magical 4.7". Goddamnit I do not want an Apple device (my last was a 3GS over a decade ago), but there she is just eating up an entire market that Android manufacturers refuse to acknowledge. What options do we have in the <5" Android realm? Any? I can handle slow, I just need it to be able to do everything and be small. Like, back-pocket small... just like that venerable Moto X.
