Welcome to our Consumer Lab page. While you will find many mobile research surveys kicked off by our teams, you will also find polls and discussions created by fellow members.
You're invited to complete any surveys that are still open and by all means create a poll if it relates to general mobile preferences. If your topic only pertains to one product, please create your poll within the respective product forum.
After a period of time Consumer Lab Polls, Surveys & Discussions will be locked. They will still be viewable for historical data.

5.5'' - Right Handed
Calls and Texts with the right hand.
calls with my left or right hand and texts with both or right navigation and some games with right
5.5 inch
Calls, Text, Video games all one handed.
No matter the size of the device , i use my Left hand, unless i want to type fast and both hands
5.5 and 6 inches
Calls, Text, and simple 1 handed games.
5 5", I actually voted wrong. I hold my phone with my left hand and use my right hand to touch the screen. Yes, I'm really old school, lol
5.5", right-handed.
I use my phone one handed for calls, most texting, filling out my paperwork for my job, and when using my phone as my e-reader. In fact, I very seldom use my phone with both hands and am not left-handed, nor do I game very often.
5.8" (Galaxy S8), right handed
web browsing, social media, text, and games
5.5" Axon 7
when consuming content or calling, i use one hand as most apps are easy to use and navigate, but when i need to type, i use both hands like most other people. i find the single handed features of the Axon to be annoying actually, as they make the numbers smaller and harder to press even if they are off to one side.
I use it right handed and my phone screen size varies depending on which device I use. I will say I prefer to use 5.5 inches but if the phone has a one handed mode built into software I'm fine with 5.7 or 6 inches.
I use my phone one handed for everything except maybe gaming. Chatting and reading news would probably be the most common things I use it for.
Where I use one handed mode in software that shrinks the screen most often is for reaching menus at the top of the screen or pulling down the notification tray.
5.2 right handed
5.5" - right hand
Talk, text, browse social media and web, take selfies, read ebooks, write emails.
5.5", right hand. I have a 6" phone and it's just too big to use one handed. I'd say I use my right hand 85% of the time and my left 15% when using one handed. I use two hands frequently also though. I text, email, surf, just about everything at times one handed except play games.
Bad poll construction -- should be a "both" selection
I use both hands regardless of phone size (hold in my left -- tap with my right) current phone is 6" screen
Both my daughters also use both hands (to actually do something) - their phones are 5.5" screens
Right hand for both calls and texts. 5.5 inch.
5.5"
I'm right-handed, but I only use my phone one-handed when I'm doing something more important (like typing) with my dominant hand, so I end up using the phone with my left hand. Also, I hold it up to my ear left-handed when I'm taking a call. Other than those limited scenarios, I vastly prefer two-handed usage.
Right hand about 90% of the time
I'm ambidextrous so there really is no difference for me. Screen sizes vary from 5.5 to 6.0
I have a key ring on the back of my phone where I put my middle finger through. Makes one- handed use an afterthought.
i always use my phone in portrait mode both thumbs
With difficulty (but then maybe I've got small hands)
6", almost always right handed, unless my right hand is busy. I switch to both hands when I'm typing something longer.
My screen size 6.00 inch's. I don't really use one hand, well then again I guess when I answer the the phone send a text I would say whatever hand isn't busy lol..
Right Hand - 6.0
usually just use my left hand for it all
right handed but use the left hand to hold the phone, usually
