I have a very minimal case on it. That's not the problem. The phone weighs about the same as my Pro Max and would be easier to hold of it weren't so top heavy.
Still, I'm loving this phone so far. And actually the single take mode is pretty awesome if you have kids. I messed with it a bit today and got some good pictures and videos. Only downside is they automatically add awful music to the videos. But still, it's more than a gimmick. It works pretty well.
Although I adore huge screen phones, I’ve officially stopped using them as my only phone. It finally got to be too much of a chore for me to constantly be wiggling such big devices out of tight or full pockets and fumbling one handed on the bus. Especially since they tend to be expensive, and because it’s such a horror to get scratches on those huge, pristine displays.
Last year I finally did the for me until then unthinkable and bought the NOT biggest iPhone. I got the 11 Pro hoping that the medium size would do. It didn’t. I love it for all the daily menial tasks like checking my bank account, bringing up my public transport card, answering messages etc. But it’s just too small for extended browsing, reading, gaming etc to be enjoyable. I also prefer having a big viewfinder when taking photos.
So my plan is to ditch the 11 Pro, sell my old 7 Plus and get a small 7, 8 or new SE for the daily chores that require frequent retrieval from pockets - don’t need anything fancy or new to handle all that.
And then a nice top of the line Android for all the fun stuff. Like the Ultra or Note 20 if I can afford one of those, otherwise something slightly cheaper but still biggest possible size.
So, I definitely hear you about the Ultra being possibly a bit too big. Gotta love them behemoths but personally I had to finally admit that they’re just too big to work in all situations for me.
