How is the 5 for one-handed use

[laydros]

I have reasonably big hands but I had an iPhone 8 Plus and hated it because it was awful for one-handed use (also big in my pocket). I would probably prefer someone give the Nexus 5 a USB-C port, fingerprint reader, and a newer CPU over just about anything. But that's apparently not going to happen.
I was leaning towards getting a used OnePlus 3/3T, but bought a new Moto X4 at BestBuy, and I like it a lot. I somehow didn't realize that the OnePlus 5 has taken a dive in price, and barely costs anymore than the OnePlus 3T at the same storage levels.
Versus the X4, the OnePlus 5 has much more horsepower, meaning it will work for longer, probably a slightly better camera, and an OLED screen for better battery life. Also no glass back.
The only advantages I see to the X4 is the IP rating (apparently the OnePlus is almost as good in practice) and the fact it's compatible with standard QC/USB-PD (I think). I kinda like the front facing speaker.


But if the OnePlus 5 sucks for one handed use, I would rather just keep the X4. Any thoughts? In particular if anyone has used an iPhone 6/7/8 Plus.

I find it good compared to the galaxy s6 and galaxy s8 I had a short time before switching to the op5.

You'll get more specific answers within both of the last mentioned threads :good:

Ps: I have a iPhone 6s and op5 and you cannot compare apples with oneplus 5 Nevertheless, I hate the iPhone cause of its non ergonomic keyboard, missing back button and menu button and the software ergonomics in general.

My girlfriend has an iPhone 6s. The only thing I like on the iPhone is the keyboard but gboard is as good or better in most ways.

I didn't see much to help me in the "ergonomics" thread, but I will search/post in the other two, they seem a little more promising. Thanks!
