A proper phone should be entirely usable with one hand, only need of second hand is for faster typing. Even with 6" devices you should be able to do most of the stuff with one hand.
Hamburger menu is the worst thing in wp10.
I think a lot of people need to "get a grip" over all of this.
If a 1320 or a 1520 is too large for you to easily use with one hand, then who's fault is that?
They are not designed for everyone. Some people have big hands and some people have small hands.
I'm around 6'6" with slightly above average sized hands. I thought long and hard about which phone to get. I ended up with a 930, but the 1320 was a very close choice as well. The 1520 was and still isn't realm available in my area.
Still, I picked up, handled and used a 1320 extensively before I chose the 930. Size wasn't an issue in the regard of handling. My thumb could reach all areas of the screen. Since the 1320 & 1520 are of the same dimensions, the same would apply to the 1520.
I got the 930 due to power and features, while the 1320 interested me based on size and the SD card support.
My wife ended up getting the 1320 for herself. Her hands are much smaller than mine and yet I have not heard her complain about any of the half-arsed crap I keep seeing in here about hamburger menus or crappy iPhone diagrams of someone's personal interpretation of where they think the average person's right thumb can reach on a screen.
The phone she had before the 1320 was the Galaxy S4, which isn't much of a small phone either and was full of hamburgers and hotdogs.
All this complaining about being able to do everything with one hand on a large phone reeks of moaning. Sorry, one thumb.
Oh and I'm also left handed, yet i use both hands to do various things on my phone depending on the action, situation, my mood, etc.
I'm not in here complaining about the lack of left handed features am I?
When I use Internet Explorer or any other app & want to use the three dot menu in the bottom right, do I come in here to complain that I may have to take half a second to reposition my hand to reach it without bringing up the URL bar?
Do I complain that sometimes I have to use two hands?
Someone said they don't want to use two hands to access the photo menu because it's 19 degrees out. I assume that's US terms for cold. Well as a Canadian, I'll say this:
Get some gloves, wait until you're some place warmer, or suck it up buttercup.
Seriously this is complaining about nothing. If it's too hard for you to navigate a large phone with one particular hand and it's that big of a deal for you that you need to keep flodding internet forums about it, protesting, then you should have got a phone more hour size.
All these 1520 users complaining sound like men who hit their mid life crisis, bought the most expensive sports car they could find and then come back and complain they can't fit all their luggage in the trunk and only have two seats.
You knew what you were getting when you bought a large phone and if you didn't then that's your fault for not researching properly and being an informed consumer.
Oh but hamburger menus didn't exist when you bought your gigantic phone?
It always existed in Cortana.
And what about various apps you use or have installed in the past, specifically third party apps?
What about various web sites you visit on your phone?
Are you guys telling me that right up until this point, you never had to reach or touch those evil red sections of your phone before or often?
Going back a bit, I do end up using my wife's 1320 regularly and even my three year old son uses her phone.... None of us have complained about it being too big like the people in here
I even offered to trade her my old 925 for her 1320 but she refused because she likes the large screen and has no issues with its size at all.
Considering the 1320 is also thicker and heavier than the 1520 (last I heard) you'd think it would be even worse for handling.
My 930 was also a bit larger than my 925, but my 925 was larger than my old 800. And her 1320 is larger than mh 930. All of them require adjustment in the hand for proper use and all of them require different approaches when handling them. If having to do this bothers people so much, then perhaps they should just stick to one size they are used to and be done with it.
All I see in here are a lot of people complaining about nothing and need to grow up.
The only thing that would get me to complain would be the positioning of the camera on the Lumias. Right now they are in a perfect spot for portrait and landscape shooting, but the moment they move the camera to the top corner like an Android or iPhone, I will be PO'd.
But that's a different subject.
