One-handed mode should be a must on flagships

Having a smartphone is good. Recently, a smartphone can do almost anything that a person needs to, from checking emails, playing games, surfing the web, to more phone-like features: calling and texting. The screens of smartphones has been getting bigger and bigger as a result, to accommodate those needs. Nothing is wrong with big-sized screens. However, it is becoming harder to use the phones nowadays with just one hand, which was one of the intended use of a portable device!

Yes, that has become kind of a common dilemma for consumers. They (as well as us) want big screen for entertainment and other purposes, but also want to be able to operate the phone with one hand, for convenience. It is now harder to do so, as screens are getting bigger and bigger nowadays. Back in 2011, when the first Samsung Galaxy Note was unveiled, its screen size was considered big. Now, flash forward to 2017, its size is comparatively small in the market.

This would not be much of an issue if we have more options. However, the only flagships usable with just one hand is Google Pixel (arguably) and iPhone 7 – and the 7 Plus is superior in many ways. So, a one-handed mode is necessary on flagships. It usually shrink your display to a fraction of its size, so that you can do everything with one hand. One-handed mode was already presented in Apple phones, and recently, the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ also. This should be a more prominent feature in flagships for convenience of customers!

One-handed mode: It should be a must now!

Bigger screen means having more to display, so interacting with one hand may be a bit difficult. Including one-handed mode may solve this problem, for good effect. What do you think about this issue?
