Not the original author of the comment but I share the preference. I hold my phone often by the sides; the edge of my palm is a bit higher than the edge of my phone and is not supporting it from below.
A bit like this but without the assistive strap and my fingers actually wrap around the phone a bit more: https://images.app.goo.gl/oxvXQRVBg38oTjnH6 https://images.app.goo.gl/oxvXQRVBg38oTjnH6
My hands are somewhat skinny so the meat of my hand doesn't interfere but I think my phone case also has to do with this.
My grip seems rare, I couldn't find images of it.
I can't use my pinky as a hard stop always, because if I do it for long enough, I'd get some pain in my joints.
I switch between grips depending on what I do. My texting grip is the one people usually have and I switch to it by pushing my phone with my body to guide it down my palm.
- stallmanite 5y agoI share your “rare grip” precisely and also adopted it to alleviate pinky pain. To add another anecdote to the pile I also prefer UI elements at the top although a toggle in settings or at least a configuration file would be best. I don’t understand my own preferences on this issue though because the arguments for the bottom position are completely convincing to me. (Thumb is closer, top of screen is better used for displaying messages, etc)
