    100% my pain too. These gigantic rectangles are so unwieldy to hold, particularly with one hand. There was one phone I saw recently that touted it’s “compact” size of 6.1 inches. Ridiculous

      Yeah, I seem to only have four choices atm, Google pixel 8, galaxy s23, Asus zenfone 10 or an iPhone. They are all expensive and I don’t want the iphone because I would have to change ecosystems. I’d prefer NOT to buy a new phone but mine keeps messing up in the middle of a call and requiring a reboot.

        Check xcover 5 : 5.3 screen, removable battery, resistant to 1.5m fall and waterproof

          Thank you for the suggestion. It looks like this is a two year old phone. I’m a little concerned about security updates.
