Have you ever held a modern phone as a person with large hands and felt like it was about to break or found it annoying to use in general?
Honestly, I use a pretty small smartphone compared to many of the options on the market. First of all, the weight is far lower, so it doesn’t cause fatigue when doing something like gaming on it for a while.
Secondly, larger phones tend to not pay as much attention to other features. They spend their whole budget looking into how to make it larger but not on things like making the screen even more clear at a larger size.
I’ve tried to use rugged phones for larger hands and it’s always annoying because you can tell they didn’t really test it on someone with big hands for more than a few seconds.
There’s also the matter of pocket space. Even though I get big pants with big pockets, it’s not like they are going to hold a whole brick of a phone comfortably with all my other stuff.
So far the best phone I’ve had in my hands was probably a Google Pixel 5 like this one (this is the renewed version of it since it’s cheaper, plus it’s under $150 right now) but I’ve also had luck with really cheap Samsung phones ($72 currently) which aren’t the best software-wise but they do get the job done.
I like that the Pixel has a fingerprint sensor on this model because it does make using it faster in some cases. The camera is pretty amazing too and it has some night sky plus AI features of some sort that I haven’t quite learned how to use yet.
Also make sure that you get a good case with a front and back cover that goes around the phone totally. And don’t cheap out on the 7 dollar one or whatever, get a rugged one for like 20 because it makes a world of difference when you eventually drop it.
