    6.1 inches while still too large is actually usable.

    I returned the Pixel 7 stating to Google it was too large. I could not reach the settings button.

    On the slightly smaller Pixel 8 I can however it’s hard to reach the Firefox settings button one handed. It also hurts my wrists to use.

    If they could pack this screen to body ratio of the 9 Pro closer to 5 inches that’d be so much more ideal.

        This is with the toolbar in the bottom (left-handed user).

        What I am finding ridiculous is that we started out with every corner of the screen in reach.

        Then everyone spent all this time adding one handed mode because the top two corners are not reachable.

        Now we’re looking at phones where only one corner is reachable.

        If bezels weren’t getting smaller we probably wouldn’t be able to reach the middle of the screen at this point.

              I thought mine had but turned out a sharpened toothpick jammed around in there removed about a kilo of dust and problem solved 😉

        I wish there was a setting where it didn’t show 1/4 loaded for 4 seconds every time you try to open a link.

        That fixes vertical reachability, but not horizontal reachability which is now also a problem.

      Same, also the front facing camera was shot compared to Samsung 22. Hoping the Pixel Fold 2 has flagship everything.
