Holding my devices without wrist strain shouldn't be a tall order, should it? CES always unveils a mix of innovative, cutting-edge, and bizarre gadgets, and this year was no exception. A Belkin MagSafe power bank caught my eye – a cute camera design! However, its size was a significant drawback. While I understand some bulk is inevitable, its considerable size makes holding my iPhone in portrait mode with the power bank attached quite awkward.
This isn't an isolated issue. Many phones, even flagship models, are becoming too large for comfortable one-handed use, especially for those with smaller hands. My experience reviewing the ROG Phone 9 highlighted this; its size, while expected for a gaming phone, was comparable to standard flagships and made it difficult to handle at times.
The problem is particularly acute with gaming handhelds. The Acer Nitro Blaze and Lenovo Legion Go S, for example, are impressive but unwieldy.
The Legion Go's size makes reaching the center of the screen a stretch, even for someone with larger hands than mine. It's reminiscent of the Game Gear, a device often criticized for its bulk.
While larger devices benefit users with larger hands, the current trend toward ever-increasing size needs a re-evaluation. While accessories can improve grip for larger hands, there's no easy fix for making oversized phones and handhelds smaller. Perhaps a renewed focus on more compact designs—without sacrificing screen visibility—is in order.
