For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories? (lemm.ee)

Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?

Edit:

a few other answers:just use both hands, get an accessory, and/or balance on pinky and develop the toughest pinky imaginable
spoiler bonus: find some smol phone you like and savor it for as long as it works :::

I don't. Popsocket all the way. Even big men with big hands can't one hand these phones anymore.

I want a small phone with an OLED 1080 display that is supported by lineage OS and has a headphone jack. That's all I want, I don't care about processor or ram being mid, mediocre camera is fine, I need decent storage though, or an SD slot.

    I have a s22+

    I always get told I have piano fingers

    I used to use a popsocket, but I switched to a phone wallet

    Back, Home, and Recent tabs are all on the bottom with a simple swipe up.

    I keep my phone resting on my pinky

    With it like that, my thumb can reach 2/3 of the way to the top.

    Placing my pinky under the phone, I can reach my thumb to the top left corner.

    Most of the time, I never need to reach up there

    But as for typing, I typed this whole thing one handed

    I enjoy the big screen

    Thank you for the actual, technical explanation.

    My girlfriend loves her iPhone mini

    She has small baby hands

    I can curl my fingers over the tops of hers if we matched up hands

    Mini feels so small in my hands and I don't know if it's just the different keyboard, but I can't type on it very well

    So I could even see that as a downside of me going to a smaller phone
