The S20 Ultra
towers over the
Galaxy S10+,
which isn’t
exactly small
it up and unlocking with my thumb, the size of the
S20 Ultra makes it difficult to do much else without
using all 10 of my fingers. It was hard enough to use
the 6.8in display on the Note 10+, but the S20 Ultra’s
6.9in screen, coupled with the weight and near-9mm
thickness, is simply too much for one hand to bear.
The S20 Ultra is the only phone I’ve used that I
could actually feel sliding down my hand as I held it.
It’s a weird phenomenon, caused by a combination
of the size, weight, and polished aluminium edges.
Eventually, I settled on a grip that either contorted my
pinkie finger under the bottom or used my off-hand
thumb to keep it steady. I still had to adjust my grip
every so often. Long stretches with the Ultra were
downright uncomfortable.
