And not one of them is a small option.
“Sorry, all we’ve got are Huge, American, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.”
That not Kareem Abdul Jabbar, that’s Roger Murdock. He’s the copilot.
And I was almost excited for half a second there…
Well, the “pro” is a 6.1 inch screen, which is the size of the previous “a” series, which was the small size. So it kind of does. And the pixel base model has a 6.03, which is pretty small by today’s standards.
The a series is really not small. I’ve had them for years
6.1 inches while still too large is actually usable.
I returned the Pixel 7 stating to Google it was too large. I could not reach the settings button.
On the slightly smaller Pixel 8 I can however it’s hard to reach the Firefox settings button one handed. It also hurts my wrists to use.
If they could pack this screen to body ratio of the 9 Pro closer to 5 inches that’d be so much more ideal.
One handed mode + gestures navigation
That fixes vertical reachability, but not horizontal reachability which is now also a problem.
On Firefox there’s a setting to have the tool bar at the bottom.
This is with the toolbar in the bottom (left-handed user).
What I am finding ridiculous is that we started out with every corner of the screen in reach.
Then everyone spent all this time adding one handed mode because the top two corners are not reachable.
Now we’re looking at phones where only one corner is reachable.
If bezels weren’t getting smaller we probably wouldn’t be able to reach the middle of the screen at this point.
Laughs in Pixel 4a
I still miss mine 😭 The USB port died
I thought mine had but turned out a sharpened toothpick jammed around in there removed about a kilo of dust and problem solved 😉
