this is a BIG phone - however once your used to the size you start to realise it isn't a problem to hold one-handed or to use. Thankfully the device is well balanced and not top heavy which helps a lot.
As its glass, even though its "stippled" it is a bit slippery in the hand though for me that's not as issue as i use a case.
If you've used a xiaomi mi max phone you'll know what's in store. Roughly the same. If you can handle a max you can handle the 20x
I`ve been using Mate 20X for two weeks now (it was Mate 9 before). For now its the best phone I've had experience with.
As for ergonomics - it is not as big as I was warring. One hand operation with inbox silicone case is no problem for me.
Mate 10 pro seems bigger in my wife's hand than Mate 20X in mine. I'm 6'4'' - so my hand is not small.
I think the size of Mate 20X is ideal for me. I don't want it bigger or smaller.
The only thing that sucks is selfie camera. Main Camera, screen, battery life is awesome.
I have a habit of resting the phone in my palm. The bottom of the phone secured-ish on a ledge create by resting on my pinky.
Noted that my ligament between my fingers has become sore.
So have used one of the free ring holders that I've accumulated over the years . Sticks onto the middle of the back of the cover. Seems to work nicely for me. Using this really nice, thin black, weaved texture case at the moment. Looks good with the good ring attachment stuck to the back in the middle.
Think I'll purchase one of the cheap ringd covers off Taobao to see how it goes like that too.
Lot of love for this phone.
1. handgrip feels ok..im 6 foot
2. need to look for replacement for car mount, if you are not ok with magnet, it will be rather limited choices
3. you can feel this in your pocket, uncomfortable to drive with
still loving this phone though ...good balance of phone/tablet
This is the biggest smartphone I ever use. Frankly, I did consider for a while before buy this phone as we know overall performance is undeniable only one issue for me is the size. Then almost a month that I use, have to accept that SIZE is really trouble some especially when I put it in pant's pocket whenever I walk or sit. However, the funny thing is because of the SIZE that make me fussy turn to be the best entertainment phone I addicted. Btw, One hand use I found that not an issue even I'm 5.5 fts tall.
I have agree that this the biggest phone I've ever used. I've had the Samsung Note series sense day one, and those were always considered monsters in size. Who knew that I'd be using a tablet sized phone, lol.
The phone is usable with o e hand, but it's meant to be used with two. I've noticed that over the years as pho es grew in size, I've developed a pain in my thumb from trying to do the one handed thing. With Mate 20 X, I e had to train myself not to this.

Meteor swipe is an app that is brilliant as you can reach your most used apps easily with the thumb.
Having a flip case also really helps as you can use the folds to hold in one hand whilst being able to increase the reach of your thumb. Three fingers holding the flap and pinky supporting the phone.

Has anyone actually bought the HD2 and thought its too big. The size is the only thing putting me off taking the plunge, havent seen one in the flesh.
Also has anyone bought their HD2 from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk thinking of getting one on a 12 month contract from them
it is only a little bit wider and longer than the iPhone. due to its thickness, it is very pocketable and you wounldnt have noticed that it is inside your pocket.
It's less bulk in my pocket than my old Nokia 5800.
Yeah, it's really thin. So, as mentioned above, you won't feel it in your pocket
It also fits very well into my palm. I'd say the size is perfect
It's a bit larger then iPhone. First impression is 'it's huge !'. But I think the form is just OK.
I think HTC made a good job considering the size of the screen, basically you are holding just the screen.
I've got smallish hands (yes, I'm a girl lol) and have no problems holding the phone or using the screen (despite my very long nails)
It IS big, but it is also thin so in your pocket it isn't that big of a problem...
I have to admit I sometimes have a problem operating it with one hand, I just can't easily reach some parts (I have small hands) but you also get used so quickly hehe.
Had the Omnia Qwerty (B7610) before this and already thought it was pretty big. Now holding it after holding the HD2 it feels very small!
The size is fine, the screen is just so nice for browsing, video, etc. Really liking it so far!
for daily use I like my Topaz more.. it depends on your use. if you like to browse the net and watch movies the hd2 is amazing. for texting I like the size (and screen) on the Topaz better. one thing is for sure, the design and feel of the hd2 is so smooth that the bigger size is very well presented.
Size hasn't been an issue at all with this phone. Well to be fair it actually has - it's made it an issue going back to the teeny screen on my Touch Pro - how did I ever manage? It also fits so well in the pocket it's not funny. No more "is that a slider phone in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"
As for mobilefaildirect... there are several threads about them. Truly disgusting customer service, likes about stock and delivery... unless the price is significantly better than elsewhere, avoid avoid avoid.
I bought mine from mobilephonesdirect. Tbh everything went fine - but if it hadn't they seem pretty useless for customer service. During my purchase and delivery I made several attempts to contact them, and I only got an email which basically said: "I don't know". If there is an alternative for the same price - take it.
Too big has 2 dimensions:
1) In the hand: unless you have quite small hands (smaller women?), not a problem. It sits in the hand perfectly.
2) In the pocket: it's great for shirt pockets, because of the thinness. Jeans pockets not so much, bit tight to fish them out of there
Perhaps the next model they could slim down the bezel even futher. Could easily shave 1cm off the height.
I am very comfortable with the size. Suprisingly I find it more pocketable than my TouchPro2 ( as it is bulkier though length width wise is smaller)
For its size it's a surprisingly easy phone to use & that's with a case on it too. My last really large phone was the Note 2 & I couldn't get on with that at all so sent it back in the fourteen day period. Think the curved back makes a lot of difference in this respect. I haven't quite got the hang of two handed typing on it yet but I'm getting there. I was intending to use this as my second phone but I'm now thinking of selling my iPhone 6 & using this as my main device.[emoji3]
Was just wondering how others of you find it to use as a larger phone?
Its brilliantly constructed and as ergonomic as any phone made to date IMO!
Agreed. The curved back sits nice in my hand.
Good to hear. I've been using a GPe M8 and I actually don't like the feel of it in my hand. Makes me long for my N5. I'll be returning it for an N6 soon, I think.
I find it really easy to use. I use it one hand most of the time. It has gotten even better with reducing the dpi setting to 380, now i can type entire emails with one hand with swiping gestures. I am really glad I got this after seriously considering the moto x because of its size.
I still feel like I'm going to drop it all the time and am undecided if I like a phone this big. I'm still in the honeymoon phase I think. Having said that I like the feel of it. Feels better than holding a note 2. The note 4 might feel better to me though (my wife has one).
I have been getting progressively bigger devices over the last several years. S3 to s4 to s5 and now the n6 which is quite a jump. To be honest I thought the s5 was a little to big bit for some reason the n6 even though larger for the hand well

It is slippery on its back side especially in cold dry weather. Have you tried a case yet
Personally I prefer using it with a case because the microusb cutout at the base of the device makes for a nice pinky rest.

I find a case helps with that. Only problem with the case I use is it makes the buttons on the side hard to reach.
My cruzerlite case offers plenty of grippy surface. Minimal risk of dropping with it on

While the phone feels absolutely smooth and premium to touch, it tends to slip. I was surprised by the lack of grip on the phone. Has to used with a gripped back cover, no excuses.
Good

Yeah, I gave up on a G5(S-less) to pass it to my father and I'm surprised to see how it was way better on the hands. The G5S is huge and encased on polished metal, which may be easy on the eyes, but a pain to handle.
My worst Moto ever
I am a high end user and I have previously used Moto G3, G5, E3 Power. Over all the Moto devices I have this came out be the worst.
Pros and Cons through my perspective
PROS :
1. Premium Design
2. Very good cameras
3. Above average battery backup
CONS :
1. Over heating on normal usage
2. Excessive over heating while charging, initially when the device is cool and the charger is plugged in it charges with ~2.5A for the first 10 minutes and as the device heats up, the rate of charging decreases to such as an extent that the rate goes down to 330mA and it shows 3 hours remaining to charge and it really takes around 3 hours then.
3. The display is too hard and unresponsive even compared to cheap Redmi and Vivo phones, I have even come across many people complaining the display is unresponsive and sometimes flickering too. My display too has minor flickering, and when I use night mode apps I see too much flicker.
4. (The worst problem I face) I got the device 2 months ago I have been facing a severe and weird issue, I don't understand if the problem is with the display or something else, what I found is when I type something in WhatsApp or anywhere at the usual speed that we type, some alphabets needs to be pressed twice.
For example if I had to type a word "Motorola", it comes out like "Moorola". I have to cut and type again slowly and hardly. When I just type something like "Where are you going", its comes out to be "Whre are yo goig" or something like that.
I have even tried flashing stock rom, resetting the device, clearing data of keyboards and also using stock and 3rd party keyboards but the problem still persists.

It feels ok. Battery placement is good so it is not top heavy when held in hand. However, it could stand to be a touch wider. Seems to be "non-symetrical" as it is to long for the width. Also I am a big fan of fingerprint scanners. Coming from a g2 play I am used to the scanner on the front of the phone. I use a phone case that doubles as a wallet. So when it is folded open the scanner access is blocked. Seeing as so many apps are including the scanner for unlocking, the on the back spot is kind of a pain. However I am pleased with the functioning of it. The case I use is pretty thick and I was expecting that to be an issue getting the finger in for a reliable scan, so I waited until i had the case on before activating the scanner. It works so well i am going to have somebody else try it to make sure its not opening up by touch.
I've owned this device for about 2 months, replacement for Moto Z3; which I think I can still salvage.
The feel in the hand is good but not for gaming or watching videos for an extended period of time.
This is a narrow phone, again this is a narrow phone.
If you are a person who uses their phone for everything, I would NOT recommend this phone.

This is a very big phone, and and very heavy one. If you have average or big hands, you should not have that much of a trouble to use it as your day to day mobile. If not, then you might encounter some reaching difficulties.
The weight of this mobile do takes toll on your hands, despite how big they are. While gaming, holding the phone with both hands is ergonomic, but after a long gaming session, your hands might be sore.
I use to hold the phone like this: Index fingers on triggers, pinkies on bottom to support phone, thumbs at the front sides and rest of the fingers on the back. And after about 40 mins of continuous use, I need to take a rest and flex my hands for a while.
Tis a large device.
But, I have big manly hands.
My biggest gripe is the included case, actually makes the phone more likely to slip out of my hand YMMV.
Might splurge out for the top tier RGB case later on (Aliexpress anyone?).
Things are very smooth, shiny and premium feeling and I am sh1z scared of dropping it.
PS - got a cheapie case coming from eBay to alleviate my anxiety.
