it still makes a difference, i struggle to use my current phone one-handed. reaching the other edge with my thumb is always a pain. i welcome a smaller but thicker phone.
I get hate every time I demonstrate mine, especially from males, but something like a pop socket really makes handling a phone a much nicer experience.
You're not wrong, but I'd still rather see phones that aren't thin slabs fully touch sensitive ob one side. This design is but no means ergonomic. I'd kill for a Blackberry again. The Q5/Q10 really hit the sweet spot for me.
