I use one handed mode on my phone all the time because the damn thing is so fucking big. I can't even reach the toolbar with my baby hands. I had no choice but to buy this one cause it was the only one with decent battery in my price range. If I didn't have a purse it'd be impossible to carry it's like a brick in my pocket. It strains my wrist a little from it's sheer weight. Wtf is going on

The Moto G, first generation, was the ideal sized phone, and I will not be taking any questions.

Yeah but the hardware was trash. The mic and audio processor made voices sound like a robot. And its processor was too slow to keep up with the bloatware that came preinstalled.

Not a question.

God the number of phones I have thrown in the trash is sad. What a waste.

By the time I got one, they were several years old, so I expected slow. It was fine after debloating, but obviously people can't be expected to do that. Agree on the sound, also the camera was Not Great, even for the time.

Even brand new it was pokey. I got my mom the GPE which was basically just debloated from the factory but it still took AGES to boot up. I think it legit takes 5 minutes to boot.

Over 1.5 minutes just to get to the android is starting screen. 103 apps total it took over 13 minutes to boot (I didn't want to wait and left for lunch). In the app drawer there were 9 apps. Android 4.4 that didn't do that was bearable, but it was only really good for the most basic of tasks, Android 5.1 made things worse, but not that much (ignoring boot).

the bloatware that came preinstalled.

Iirc it came with pure stock android. If yours had bloatware I'm guessing you got one on contract and the carrier added it. Yeah the hardware wasnt amazing but it was cheap and got the job done which couldnt be said of many other phones at the time.
