Enable one-handed mode and split keyboard mode. Swipe the keyboard left or right in portrait or swipe the keyboard apart in landscape.
Perfect in portrait mode, but landscape keyboard has me constantly hitting the comma instead of space.

One hand is comfortable to me with no resize of anything. This is my limit though. Any bigger and I'd need two. (That's what she said!)
The choice is having a small screen and comfortably using with one hand, or having a large screen and using both hands. Heaven or paradise.
Coming from and Evo 3D this phone is quite big for one handed use. It could just be the way I hold it but I even have trouble using the top of the screen one handed not just trouble typing. That being said I do like the size for other reasons. Maybe my sweet spot would be between the 4.3? of the 3D and this 5.2. I'm sure I will get used to it though.
Tiny hands. Then again i'm sure most pro bb players are like, " one handing note 3? Not a problem! LOL!". All personal preference.

I'm a big guy and there are apps like ingress that require careful handling on long thumb presses.
I'd not trade for smaller device. It's perfect even if I would have to shuffle to two hands. I'll get used to two hands and deal with a 5.5 or 6 device maybe. Right now I can handle this one handed but absolutely do not want a smaller screen ever again. Ever.

It would be about the same, pretty much the same chassis size but the G2 screen comes closer to the edge.

I wonder how the trade-off between the GS4's physical buttons (and thus no screen real estate being taken up by virtual buttons) and the G2's larger screen size works out.
Well, I find the S4 easier to hold because it has a more defined edge. I think the g2 is really awkward to hold, still not comfortable with it.

I find G2 is perfectly made for using a case that sticks out the bezels. Makes it good to hold, and no accidental hits on screen. Yet it's two handed use most of time for me. Only had it a few days, will come back later with review.

5.2 actual drops to 5.0 effective when stock nav bar is active. Though, there are so many ways to reduce the size or toggle visibility of the nav bar that it's only a data point valid for stock users.

A case helps hold the smooth phone better and raised edges/bezel does prevent most accidental screen touches. although the phone doesn't feel like it fits as nicely in my hand without the case, but the tradeoffs are worth it.

It's matte at the back, and the borders have the same glossy colors as the phone, which makes it look part of the phone i think. Had to cut out more room for the usb cable though.

I'm considering getting the Titan but wanted to know what you all think about the device & its screen size?
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App
Screen size is totally awesome! I used to have the 4.3 HD2 before I got my Titan.. It feel just alittle bigger, but I got large hands and long fingers so for me it's no problem with the use.. I guess people with small hands and probably most girls will have some problems using it with only one hand.
Apart from the screen size I think the Titan is a good device! I don't regret buying it at all, even after have some small problems with it.. These problems are just tiny ones and doesn't affect the device in general use. If you like Windows Phone OS, Titan is definitly the device for you

In a word, no. In the effort to remain low-profile and good looking, the Titan's power button is its achilles heal. If LG can manage to use the Windows key to wake up the phone, I have no idea why HTC can't. It is for me the only real drawback on an otherwise excellent device.
As for the screen size...well the whole deivce feels so slim, so it fits in the pocket no problems. But surfing etc is amazing with room to spare. The tiles on my old 3.7" mozart feel positively tiny in comparison.
Its a true powerhouse of a WP phone.

You can wake it up while holding in the camera button on the side
Ditto here on the power button. Very difficult to push with a normal hand position. The button is on the front side of the curve, so you have to get your finger over and around to top to push it.
Same here. Usually have to use two hands to turn it on or off. The button is too stiff.
And like some reviews have said, the camera lens sticks out quite a bit. Hopefully it doesn't get scratched over time from laying it down.
Other than those two items, it's fantastic. Had the Focus before this and almost got the Focus S but wanted to try HTC again.

Hey guys. I've heard multiple people comment on how the glass on the front of the Nexus 4 is smoother than any phone screen they've ever touched. Nothing to do with the software or jellybean but like the actual glass surface of the screen.
Does the LG Optimus G have this same buttery smooth glass? Has anyone been able to compare the 2 side by side?
My Nexus 4 will be arriving this week, but as I've always had SD storage on my phones, and I'm on AT&T in Vegas where LTE speeds are 15-50mbps and HSPA is 1-3mbps I'm really thinking I may sell the Nexus and pick up the Optimus G instead. But this butter screen I'm hearing about intrigues me, hopefully it's on the E970 too

We do also have the latest technology from LG, where they have incorporated the touch sensor into the glass. This makes for better response as well as better clarity since the pixels are closer to the screen.
I'ver noticed that this screen gets small scratches much quicker then my Galaxy SII, I had that phone for 2 years and it seriously only got a few tiny scratches through all my use. But after only 4 weeks with my OG, it has the same amount if not more haha. I may return it for a replacement as soon as my screen protectors come in.

It feels buttery smooth to me. It's the most slippery feeling glass I have ever touched on a phone. Let me put it this way: I felt compelled to purchase an insurance plan for the phone. I have NEVER had an insurance on a phone before this phone.

The other thing I've noticed is that in addition to the smoothness, it doesn't get as smudged up as my prior phones. And it cleans much easier as well, making it awesome. I hate having all kinds of fingerprints on my phone, and this one never has any due to the way the glass is engineered. Awesome stuff.

Yeah that sounds awesome, it always looks so clean in pictures.
So it's pretty much safe to say the screen, touch screen, and glass are basically identical on the Nexus 4 and Optimus G?
My Nexus 4 says it shipped days ago but still no tracking information shows up...was supposed to come yesterday and didn't and yet UPS doesn't know where it's at lol. I just ordered an Optimus G off ebay at a great price so if anything I can try both phones and sell whichever one I don't like, but I really do enjoy LTE over AT&T's horrid HSPA in Vegas. It's basically same exact speeds as 3G. So I'll probably end up keeping the OG even though I love the look of the Nexus. Just put a damn LTE radio in there Google!

I came over from a galaxy s3 which I actually thought was about the perfect size for a phone. I thought I would try the note 2 out just to see if you know I would be able to use some of the extra features such as the pan and maybe some other things. I'm having trouble with the size. I'm not sure I am going to be able to work with this. The Galaxy s3 I could work 1 handed but I am struggling using the note 2 1 handed.
I am just curious if it is just that I am NOT used to the phone, and I will eventually figure out how to use it 1 handed. Thanks in advance for your kind response is.
Unless your name is Shaq I doubt you will ever be able to one hand this phone.
But even without being able to do full one hand operation, I am betting you will get used to the size. All things take time. Hell there was a time when I was so used to texting on my old Samsung flip phone back in 2005, that the thought of getting a touch screen keyboard based phone was just blasphemy. And of course when I did get my device, a Droid X, I was really turned off from the keyboard. I hated texting on it and it drove me nuts.
Now today, I can't imagine having a flip phone with those ugly T9 keys, or even a slider phone that has so much wasted thickness for a redundant keyboard.
You'll get used to it, sooner or later. But it grows on you.
You have to hold it differently. If your fingers are long enough, their tips can still wrap around the phone while it mostly resting on them, not your palm. This gives your thumb much more mobility. It feels weird at first but isn't uncomfortable. I cannot reach both the status bar and buttons without shifting my grip awkwardly, but I still can do that one handed.
It's been three days and I've already gotten used to it, I can't believe how small my former Razr MAXX feels in comparison. I'm 6'2 and have pretty big hands and I am able to 1 hand it in most cases, but it's more comfortable with 2.
Unless you have really small hands. you will definitely get used to it.

That clip thing is called a fly grip I believe. Qbking77 has a YouTube video reviewing it and I think it looks pretty handy. I'm a 6 foot tall man with big hands and I'm afraid I'm going to drop the phone reaching for the notification bar while the phone is sliding in my hand. I've had a lot of different phones and this one is hands down my favorite but I do have the fear of it sliding out of my hand reaching for the notification bar to the home button (try doing that one handed... you'll see what I mean).

The moment I pulled the note 2 out of the box and put it into my hand for the first time the GS3 was dead to me. I doubt I will ever be able to use a smaller phone without a stylus. I use the stylus nonstop for work and find that I am typically using one hand to hold the phone and the other I have the stylus.
But, I am also 6' 5" and don't really have much issue holding it in one hand and using my thumb to operate it. I usually don't even have issue moving the phone slightly to be able to reach all 4 corners.
Personally when I use my wife's S3 or my old GN after having this phone they seem tiny and I can't even stand using them. People can say what they want but for me a guy with avg size hands I think this phone is perfect. The only Issue I do have is when using my left hand it is a PITA to hit the back button. Samsung should have had the whole area to the right of the home button as a contact area, so that isn't so much a size issue for me but a design issue. Either way I could never go back to a smaller phone now.
The only thing you'll have trouble getting used to are the stares. At the mall.....restaurants especially. I haven't had a quiet meal in the last week. Waitresses and patrons just walk up and say, "That is the biggest phone I have ever seen! What is it? Do you like it.....isn't it TOO big?"
I just tell them the micro radiation is off the charts....so stand back.

the 5" screen is huge, and can sometimes make using it with one hand a little hard. The on screen keys disappear when they need to, like looking at pictures or watching videos, other than that, its just like using a 4.7" screen or something around that. When using the phone with one hand it can be a little difficult to stretch your thumb all the way down to the hardware buttons without having to readjust how your are hold the phone in your hand, they are badly placed on the bottom like that.

Our precious OG now has a direct child.
LG G2 will have a 2.3 GHz quad core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, a 5.2 inch screen at full HD, and a 2540 mAh battery.
Neat things added include the volume rockers centered on the back, dual speakers, and no front physical keys.
I think I may be sticking with LG on this round. If they have better hardware quality control, it sounds perfect. My OG is messed up thanks to quality control. Yellowed screen, dead zones in the screen. Power wise it is fine, but the quality is lacking.

I don't get why people say this. Yes, the on-screen buttons do take screen space but that's why they made the bottom bezel smaller and the screen taller. Plus, if they did put hardware buttons/capacitive buttons they would be way too awkward to hit on the very bottom of the phone. The way around this is to make the screen smaller and the bezel thick enough to place the buttons in a good position. Thus either way you lose screen space. But at least on-screen buttons allow for the option to turn them off when you want and temporarily reclaim the screen space.
This was actually a big gripe I had about the LGOG. The back button is so awkward to push and spaced too far away. I would have much rather they made the screen a little taller and included on-screen buttons. As always, opinions are opinions.

Absolutely this. Apparently I have mutantly small thumbs or something - I can't reach the whole screen of the LGOG one handed. No bigger for me for a phone. I hate having to compromise on hardware just to get a reasonably sized screen. SGS2 was the perfect physical size.
With the edge to edge screen and lack of capacitive buttons it may not be much bigger than OG.

I agree somewhat.
If we had gotten the same design as every other variant of the LGOG, It'd be my perfect size. As it stands though, the extra bulk added by AT&T makes it ever so slightly too large for my tastes.
The screen itself is the perfect size for me. Big enough to play games and see past my fingers, big enough to read books & watch videos, but still small enough to reach one-handed. If they could make a phone with No/minimal bezel and the same size screen panel, I'd love it.
I'm not sure about the G2's size, but everything else about it looks stellar.
5.2 just seems to big. I have a small tablet for a reason, my phone should be able to go with me where ever and whatever I do. Not looking like some giant slab that distorts my suit pant pockets.

From what I have seen the on screen buttons are transparent. However, we need to wait for the real thing to come out. I use to be a capacitive button hog but with all the cool stuff like PIE coming out I may just switch to the dark side.

Interesting to see if they find a way of making it manageable. But I find even the OG uncomfortable for extended periods with one hand, and I have big hands. Hopefully edge to edge screens and shaping like the moto x will make it better. No doubt it will even out to a sweet spot.

I tried fitting 5.5" phones in my pocket and it feels moronic. I can only imagine 5.2" will be no different. I mean makes me feel stupid for having such a brick in my pocket.
- I don't know why, but the Note 2 has been a huge hit with women I know who have tried it. Must be the same asinine behavior from women who drive monster SUVs when they don't even take the trash to the dump with it, or do any winter sports, or outdoor expeditions (camping, kayaking etc.) Maybe it's the same appeal as having a tote bigger than their upper body...
I'm going to assume dudes who have 5.2" - 5.5" phones are the same dudes who still think it's trendy to wear capris pants and have man purses to carry their "phablet". I assume nothing else beyond that, please don't troll me that.

I tried fitting 5.5" phones in my pocket and it feels moronic. I can only imagine 5.2" will be no different. I mean makes me feel stupid for having such a brick in my pocket.

The note is more popular with women because they put it in their purse so you won't look as stupid until you talk on it lol. The only way I could see anything over 5 inches working is if they have the screen going edge to edge and it's more of a sub 5 inch body.

Yeah the girls I know with note and note 2 leave them in their purses most of the time and utilize bluetooth for voice calls.
