1. Big screen? Use phone with one hand

As we are moving towards ever-larger screens, it is becoming difficult to handle the phone with just one hand. Especially, when you got your hands full of other stuff and you are traveling on public transport like metro, bus or train, this is the moment when you miss a smartphone that can fit in your hand. But you can turn your large screen display into a handy smartphone with its “One-handed" functionality. Just enable the mode and enjoy typing with one hand. You can bring the mode from the 'Movements and gestures' category in phone Settings.
