    Yeah, 6.7 inches is just a little bit too big, primarily just because it’s too wide. I have found phones wider than ~75mm (2.9inches) are just too wide to be comfortable.

      This phone is 72.4 mm wide according to GSMarena. Height might still be an issue for you since it’s 161.2 mm

        I’m not particularly concerned about the height because I hold the foam with my left hand. My thumb rests on the top left and my pointer finger rests on the top right about an inch or so down from the top of the screen.I only interact with the device with my other hand, which is not holding the phone. So height does not matter very much, but width really does, at least for me.

        I want my monster nexus 6 back. I had that phone for almost 6 years because of the beefy ass screen.

        Give me a palm sized ultrawide!

          At some point, you’ll increase the width so much, you’ll just end up with a tablet in landscape.

            Lol I’ve got pretty large hands, (thumb and middle finger touch when holding a 12oz can of coke), so I’m completely ok with this, as long as it fits in my pockets

        Yeah, I would say my hands are decently small. I generally find that I shy away from phones that are 6.4 inches or larger and try to stay between 6 and 6.3.

            I don’t have a 6 inch display. I have the OnePlus Nord N200 5G which has a 6.49in display and is 74.9mm (2.95in) wide.

            Edit: my last phone was 77mm wide and was quite a chore to handle. I will try for narrower next time as well. This isnt bad, but it could still be a bit better.
