You can't swipe across the opposing screen edge with your thump without letting go of the full grip on the phone and holding it only partially, risking it to fall. Glass phone body only makes things much worse. You can do it with a back button in a sane position though, without compromising a grip. Android allows navbar gestures since ver.10 and I never enable them because buttons are simply better, even though they take away some space on the screen.
- iSnow 3y agoI switched to iPhone 13 Mini because there's no recent and small Android phone anymore. On the Mini, you can easily reach that screen edge. Which just drives home the point that those gigantoscreens are a bad idea.
- pyr0hu 3y agoDropped my iPhone 13 around 4-5 times, on the floor, in the bathtub without water, on the desk. Not even a scratch. I was afraid of the glass back but this thing _is_ sturdy. "Risking to fall" was a good reason about 4-5 years ago, but since then the devices got much better protected from falling IMO
- moystard 3y agoI was saying the same thing until one fall proved it wrong. You can be unlucky and break the back with what looks like a minor fall.
- matthewdgreen 3y agoJust broke the back of my phone two hours ago from a low height. In a Tech21 case as well. Glad I paid for the super AppleCare+++.
