Well, 6s plus have superior cam, possibly split screen for mail?. So size matters when it comes to iPhone.

Funilly :

- I first started using PDAs long before using smartphones (my first : Palm IIIc, then Palm Tungsten T3)
A 120-140mm long device is pretty normal by my experience.

- I happen to have giant (and dextrous) hands: I can actually operate such a touch screen single handed.
I was even able to thumb-time on Psion Series 5 (170mm long devices) (and which, by the way, also used offset key rows, but in my limited experience had very good keyboard switches quality).

My point : I understand that this upcoming phone needs to be optimised for all users.
But I hope that during these optimisation, single hand touch, and thumb typing won't get lost.

and for that, practice is king (I never said I was *born* dextrous).

Bring in the volunteers ! (New best pick-up line: "Darling, you're critically important for my practice!")

That's a great project.

I am very intrigued by this device, I hope it can replace my BlackBerry Passport when it's time.

I was wondering if it would be possible to choose one the successors of the Snapdragon 625 instead of it, like the 626 or 630 ? Would it costs a lot more ? This would help the Livermorium to be more future proof.

The whole thing weighs like a bag of bricks which, combined with its thinness, means that it cuts into your hand when you carry it. He hates it with all his heart.

Sleek but next to unusable
Maybe he was holding it wrong?

(Sorry, I know it's a bad joke, but couldn't resist. :P )

Today I tried TheKit's build of SFOS for Moto Z Play. It's actually manageable and I have average hand. Don't get scared of a 5.5 inch.

(Thickness also affect one hand operation)

Really? I think that it will take about almost one year.. And when HW is ready you must start porting SFOS? For example Xperia X port is not ready after 6 months.
