I have small male hands and even on the regular 4 it can be a stretch when going from top to bottom.
It's a great feel, even better than my 3a or the P3. I just wish I didn't have to have a thin clear glass case on it because it just takes a little away from it. But I simply can't afford to drop it and it break. It's a really nice device, even better than the iPhone 11 Pro which is larger and thicker.
Coming from the OnePlus 5 (which is a larger phone, about 10g lighter, thinner) the Pixel 4 feels much heavier and feels so thick..but i appreciate the small factor. Wish it had somehow rounded sides (not edge screen) and better weight distribution.
The matte white feels so good! So smooth and no fingerprints! Wish other manufacturers are offering this solution too!

Only 3 stars from me for the way it stays in hand. Curved edges both sides make the phones edges sharp hence difficult to get a proper grip. Also double sided glass makes it slippery.
Wish the back of the device was as round as the edges on the front. Similar to the normal S7. That's a joy to have in your hands.
This phone just fits perfectly in your palm. The curved back makes a world of difference. However, it is slippery. I would love to keep this device naked, but it just doesn't seem like the best idea. Because of its glass back, it also is a fingerprint magnet.
I find myself opening apps I didn't mean to open lol
Fantastic phone otherwise..
Feels pretty good, but I feel the S7 is better. S7E is kinda difficult to hold comfortably cause you don't want to touch the edge screen. Only reason I'm sticking with the edge is the battery.

Coming down from the Note 4 to the S7 Edge, the size here is a huge improvement in terms of ergonomics. You need giant hands to comfortably palm a Note. This feels just right. It rests on my palm and my fingers don't have to strain to secure the device. The glass does feel slippery but it's a beautiful piece of hardware. I was sure I wanted to go back to a regular 5.1" Galaxy S7 but the feel of this device won me over.

Ergonomics are bad. Its impossible to properly operate with one hand without touching the edge. Bad design; form over function. When holding it in landscape mode, your right thumb becomes useless because youll hit the multitask button with your palm before touching the left side of the screen.
Btw my hands are large, but skinny.
I'm not overly impressed on this front. I've had mine for a little over a week and I'm already getting used to it though, soon I'm sure I won't notice it at all. It is VERY slippery though.
Not a huge case guy
I don't like using cases and after trying out my girlfriends S7 Edge without a case for a couple hours its way to slippery compared to my Nexus 6P. Anybody use it without a case and have luck? I haven't dropped a phone in 2 years and feel I would with this phone lol.
It's just a hair too wide. Had to return the first case I got as the covers for the buttons made it too wide, and go with the Samsung slim protective cover. Even still, it's just a fraction too wide for my hands, tho I'm getting a bit used to it - I'm still getting the wrong inputs sometimes trying to swype/type one-handed.
Most expensive-feeling smartphone I've ever held (incl. iPhones), and the ergonomics are pretty good, but it doesn't feel perfect. I guess it comes down to the size of your hands, but I have rather big palms, so it could've been a little more rounded on the back. Still, it feels comfortable to hold it, and I don't really have any complaints.
I love the on-hand feel. I have smallish to medium hands...and could quite easily use it one handed...BUT the edge palm rejection just isn't sufficient. I and forever making accidental touches. It almost seems like those light edge touches confuse the phone...and random links/apps get selected in the general area.
Coming from a 6P, this is far easier to use...but contemplating the s7 rather than the edge.

I always use cases on my phones and on 6p, the Spigen Neo Hybrid made the phone huge, on S7 Edge it's perfect. When I had my LG G3, I felt that a 5.5 inch screen it's the best and I feel that again. Even S6 Edge+ seemed a little too big. And the edges help the phone to appear slimmer in hand.

Naked s7 edge feels good in hand. But in led case_ awful. That's why I took it out from it. I enjoy phone more this way.
Now the Edge has curves in all the right places lol great in hand feel (Would of liked more pronounced curves) but it's by far better than the S6 Edge....overall I'm not Complaining

Since the screen is so big and tall, hows the one handed used? (Not the software one handed mode). I rarely used the one handed software on my note 3 because it just felt weird. But I'm curious how easy it is to handle the phone in one handed. Personally I would have preferred this phone to have like a 5.2inch screen but that's just me.
Well, I personally can't operate the phone with one hand. It's too big for me. Its a little bit problematic, but the screen and phone overall is worth it.
Had to get a case for it. Picking it up from a flat surface without a case is not very comfortable, its just to slippery and I know it wouldn't be long before the dreaded drop to the floor.
There isn't enough to hold on to when lifting it off of a flat surface, which for me makes it a lot more difficult than picking up pretty much any flat screen phone.
Took a bit getting use to the edge screen without getting false touches from hitting the edge of the screen, but the case pretty much solved that also.
So over all I'd say in hand feel without a case is poor enough that I would of passed on this phone, but with a case, almost as good as any of my previous flat screen phones.
It's just bad, the Edges don't provide functionality that would justify this bad handling.

This phone leaves a flagship class feel in the hand and pretty much tricks everyone into thinking it costs alot. It doesn't feel gross like most plastic phones. The black border around the display is a little annoying to look at though.
One of the better high quality feeling budget smartphones out of the other varieties because of the metal build. Very respectable design and quality from Honor.
High quality for the price range
Good feel in hand even though its slippeey
Metal unibody is looking awesome.
Good quality metal.
I'm amazed by this metal unibody design. I'm sure this is more durable than most phones out there.

Very good quality

Not bad, but black version has that matte black back, which easily scratches. Seems like screen doesn't have any kind of hardened glass
Not bad for a $200 CAD phone. I like the aluminum in the back and glass screen. Hate the plastic bands on top and the bottom though, easily scratched and don't look too nice. Also, the screen's not gorilla glass, just tempered glass which makes it a little more prone to scratching and breaking.
I'm going to put a tempered screen protector as soon as it arrives in the mail, the original plastic film it comes with will do until then.
Quite good as compared to others at this price. But The lack of gorilla Screen protection is tge main drawback. And secondly, the Charging port was so easily damaged..
Delicate, asthetic (gold and white version), precision finish adds a touch of quality. HOWEVER I was largely disappointed with how its software uses the hardware. My earlier moto g3 was far superior when it came to the software handling the hardware, especially the modem part, the modem in note 4 sucks when it comes to handling data. The octa core handling sure needs improvement. Xiaomi should spend more time in speeding up the core handling software to give its users a feel of the powerful ram and the usage of the 8 cores. If possible they should give the option for the users to use pure android or miui option.
MTK note 4. One piece billet case, lovely machining etc. Can't be beaten in this price range.

Feels amazingly good. A bit slippery.
I like the slight weight, ceramic back mirror finish feel & the Titanium frame does have a band of grip surface which never felt slippery in my grip.
Probably the best phone I've felt since the iPhone 5. It's weight and size are perfect for my medium sized hands. Although it is pretty slippery for me. I would highly suggest a skin for the back
It's a little too wide. if it was iphone 6 size it'd be great. I came from a z3c
A little too slick and can be easily dropped, or just slide off something
I love the feel and don't find it too slippery. Now that I'm used to it, the 'heft' is just right and it feels less flimsy than any phone I've used in years.
The sides actually have a lot more grip than most phones due to the antenna bands that go around the whole frame and the big flat sides. Love it!

I think it is about the same size as my now retired iPhone 6. With the flat sides and extra heft, it is much easier to hold than the iPhone 6. I don't notice the front or back being too slick when holding it, but when putting it down on a cloth surface, such as your pants leg or the arm of a chair, it will slip off without much hesitation.
I really like the feel of it in my hand. It reminds me of my old iPhone 4.

I'm loving the heavy feel and smaller form factor. Coming from the V10, it's definitely a better fit in my hands and pocket.
I can operate my phone with one hand (for the most part) again. Only problem is I am too scared to do this without a case as the phone is so damn slippery. Also don't like that it never stays put. I put in on my couch and it starts sliding instantly. But seriously it feels great in my hand.
Fantastic feel .I usually buy a big ole phone protector ...but this Halo Gray ph-1 is too sexy to cover her all up...just installed a skinomi matte finish full body skin and it's great
So far, I like the ergonomics of this phone. it is much slimmer than my previous phones, so does feel "different."
If I have one complaint it's the placement of the side buttons for VOL and PWR. When holding the phone, it would be easier if the VOL buttons were closer to the bottom of the phone (in the middle is fine and the PWR was further up. Much easier to manipulate when holding, without hitting PWR all the time instead of VOL-

Feels very solid; a little bit too thick on the sides though, I would like it if they were a little more narrow. Very impressive compared to most as far as quality feel though. Like one of the best I have ever held.

Only complaint about build quality and aesthetics is that the Aura Glow back is such a fingerprint magnet. Like nothing I've been seen.
Here's my question: if Whitestone Dome can make a screen protector that collects virtually zero fingerprints, why can't Samsung use the same coating for their back glass?
Samsung is brand which makes great build quality phones with top notch materials (Eg: Display) which you can find in the market.
My aura white is premium build. Nice weight to it but does get tiring at times but something I can live with.
Feels much more premium than galaxy s models.
As for the finger prints, hardly any on the white but as for whitestone why cant they make a back glass cover?
No other device I have held in hand feels and looks as premium and well built as the note10+

Agreed! I was just thinking about how great the phone feels while resting on your pinky. Sounds super weird to say but the weight distribution is so we'll balanced and the flat bottom of the phone so smooth that I don't get the kind of pinky irritation and/or numbness I would get with other phones. I remember the iPhone XS Max being so heavy on my pinky it would cause discomfort after a while. I know this is the epitome of first world problems and even feels weird to say but I never heard any reviewer mentioning this tidbit.

Completely agree, quality build is really good. I just noticed how precise the side buttons are, for example the "click" on volume buttons feels really good.
This is a major point versus Huawei and other chinese brand devices that definitely feel like toys in comparison.
The phone is well balanced and very thin even a good case on it. Owing to it's a pretty much nonexistent bezel it spends 24x7 in a it's Bolt case.
With the right case it's pretty much a what the active phones should have been plus it can molt its skin if it's damaged.
It's pulled some descent G's in falls in the case and is none the worse for the tumbles.
In the case accidental touches just aren't an issue while still having full screen access. In the right case it has an open feel about it while still being well protected.
Using it without a case though is downright scary as it's a slippery bugger.
Water/dust sealing and buttons seem top notch.
The curve screen is perfect for One Handed Operation+ and now I'm wondering how I lived the savage life without it.
Plus it adds to the screen and overall phone strength in spite of what some think. No detectable frame flex.
A high performance laptop in my hand... too cool.
Build Q is excellent. This heavily used N10+ looks and feels identical to my new one.
Switches, jack, seams are all still tight as the new one. It's held up extremely well. No detectable display degradation of any kind. Only repair has been a replacement battery.
