At a time when US flagship phones are getting bigger and bigger, it's hard to find one narrow enough to comfortably fit in one hand. The Samsung Galaxy S20 ($999) can be comfortably cradled in a single paw, yet it has a big battery, a zoom camera, 8K video recording, and a 120Hz screen. That's a good balance between power and portability. It's a terrific option if your primary concern is size, but the Galaxy S20+ is our Editors' Choice for its longer battery life and high-band 5G. Design: The Right Size People who want to use their phones in one hand have been fighting a rearguard action for years. I like to go with an old LG study that says most people find phones wider than 2.8 inches are hard to use in one hand. The Galaxy S10e, at 2.75 inches, is still good. The Samsung Galaxy S20+, at 2.9 inches, is just a little too wide. The S20 is 2.72 inches, which means that it will still work well in one hand even though it's 0.4-ounce heavier than the S10e and nearly six inches tall. ...
The Samsung Galaxy S20 is the most manageable of the S20 lineup in terms of size and price, but it may get left behind with future 5G upgrades.
