I saw in review, this is heavy. Yeah it is. We can not hold and chat for long time while lying. It's literally hard. Sometimes gives pain to fingers after long hold. Using the back case makes more thicker. Definitely the light weight users will take time to make it comfortable. Slightly making me to feel like having old Nokia N70. Thickness makes me to think like that.
it is indeed very heavy - thankfully i am a big guy with big hands but even then I notice after a while my hands/fingers get tired.
I run a lot as well and hold the phone in my hand, and after a while noteice that too.
Its way too big for my wife she cant hold it at all.
All phones these days are huge, around 200-215 grams with big camera bumps its just the new norm. Personally I have no problem with the size and it actually is a really good feeling phone in the hand, has grip and even though the back is plastic is feels very nice and doesn't seem to scratch too easy
It's way too heavy when you add case and screen protector. My phone is like 240g now. Hate it. Last time I buy a heavy phone
Heavy? It is
But handfeel is about density and weight distribution.
I had Oppo A5 2020 (195 Gram) before Poco X3. It felt heavier because it was less wide (720p display).
Poco X3 is okayish for the battery and screen size
Weight distribution is also fine.
Also, I have held iphone 12 pro max (my friend complained about the weight, I thought it wouldn't be that different from my Oppo) and yes because it is thinner and weighs 236 grams, it feels very heavy.

My 19 yo son just bought himself one of these, as his first serious phone purchase. I was trying to convince him to save a little more to get the Z3, but he wanted to purchase. Tell you what, I was really impressed on how light it was when I first held it. I guess that's due to the laminated screen instead of the glass? I'm also impressed by how nice it looks; it sure is a pretty phone. Now he just needs to get some mods.

The overall experience of this phone is very good, very light, except 4+64g is not enough and the forehead has a chin (I still think that the front fingerprint can be fully integrated into the back cover log). The sensor application is great. The screen is not bad, I think moto is the best manufacturer to use the sensor.

This phone is slippery as an eel. I can barely manage to hold it without droping it, but if you put it on a table or anything that's not perfectly flat it will slither away.
And it's really heavy.
Feel great with a case. I understand you might mean without the case. Yet, my biggest issue is the fingerprint scanner location. I often still press the camera lens.
Without or with case, this is the most comfortable phone I've ever held. Yes, it feels heavy at times but at least it is comfortable enough to hold that I don't really care about that.
I don't know why, but I have no issues with fps location, it is good for both aesthetics and ergonomics (other phones that uses fps on the back, always place the fps higher than on the XZ2, but it doesn't look good to me). The real issue with the fps is how flush it is to the phone's rear glass, although I have no problems with it so far, since I'm using a case.

The weight of the phone doesn't annoy me, but the slipperiness is horrible. I remember some motorola phones years ago they had a metal frame and a kevlar strengthened plastic backside and because of the structure because of the fibers it was not slippery and very stable and looked good too. You never needed a case only a screen protector. (It was even better with the screen protectors, all displays were flat in these times. I hope the flat screens come back one, because I don't see any advantage with rounded screens, for me it's only a gimmick.).
Pros: The overall size. The reason I bought this phone is because I do not like big phone. However, I find the XZ2 compact is slightly too small; hence the XZ2 size is just fine. Of course, iPhone X form factor is the best (for me).
Cons: Slippery and definitely need a case. Even with a matte case, it's spinning like crazy. However, the reason why I gave 3/5 is not because of this; nor the weight (the weight is fine for me). The actual reason is the fingerprint scanner placement and the overall ergonomics of the UI/skin. OnePlus Oxygen is far ahead in this area. I had to change the launcher to Pixel launcher just because of the notification bar. I prefer to swipe down from home to bring it down, whilst the stock Xperia UI would trigger search bar. That is not as useful.
Gosh, I have no problem with the fingerprint scanner placement. Maybe it's because I've never had one on the back before. I highly suspect that people who complain about that location simply because they are use to it being higher, not because being at the center is intrinsically wrong. In fact I think it's easier to find coming out of a pocket because it is towards the center. Whatever...
I've tried a bunch of cases and find they all help with the on desk spin factor. But I do feel a case is a must with this thing because of the slippery glass.
I'll echo others in that the shape of the back is one of the best things about the phone. People who ***** about the thickness obviously have never actually held one of these. My old XZ1 now feels too light; didn't think that would happen either.
I think ergonomics is very good with this smartphone, I don't get why is everybody complaining about it.
Yeah it's big, but for its dimensions it's quite optimized.
I've been using it for 2 days and I've already got used with the fingerprint sensor position.

great - compact - feel
feels a lot like my xperia z5 compact (which i like); perhaps a little bigger but still nothing like the larger android phones you see everywhere (i briefly used a moto 4g and nokia 6)
this being the first lager phone that I have had, coming from the Xperia z3c, it is actually much easier to handle than what I expected. I can reach the whole screen, but only with fairly loose grip.

This is the only flagship phone (during launch...a bit dated now) that comes close to the iPhone X size. Pixel 2 has the same overall size but the bezel is damn thick!
My 2 latest phone was s8 and XZ1 compact. S8 is ergonomic nightmare for holding. Sony is super but have too big bezels. SIROCCO is a little bit weider for me. But is short and that is better. And that luxury feeling, have no other phone like this.

Similar size to the Mi5 but feels quite a lot bigger due to the edge design which makes one handed use more difficult.
Got it for 2 weeks now, changed my Mi5s Plus, this one is quite smaller and very comfortable to handle (I have small hands btw). The small bezels make it a little hard sometimes as it does register touches on the sides sometimes which may be an issue at first, but I got used to it.

Did you have a thick case on the Mi 5s? There is no doubt this handles worse than the Mi 5. The GSMArena review said this is because there are no sharp edges on the sides and they are rounded, which i agree with.

Perfect feel in the hands - curved edges and back means no digging into your palm. Balance for such a large phone is perfect. They really nailed the ergos on this.
In terms of weight, coming from a 143 grams weighing iPhone 6s.. this phone feels absolutely normal, and I can't help but feel that "everyone's" complaints about the weight of the ROG 2 is completely unjustified and narrow-minded. The balance is also great on it, and surely makes things even better.
The thing I can, for now, agree with the haters, is the inability to use this phone one handed. But guess what? Now I don't "multitask" (use my phone one handed while doing something else half-bakedly) anymore and I think that's really a good thing. I still try to, it just doesn't work and forces me to put my phone away.
In terms of tactile feel, it's great, Holding it is smooth, and the screen, buttons, sides, back/case back all feel smooth, firm, but never uncomfortable.
Overall, 9/10. Without considering the battery inside. What a phone.
