How to Enable/Disable One-handed Operation on your Essential PH1
As the displays on smartphones get bigger and bigger we come across a major problem that we cannot hide any longer: it is more difficult than ever to use the phones unless we’re holding them with both hands. Things seem to be no different for your handset too. The 5.71-inch screen on the Essential Phone looks amazing, yet there is a big issue. This quad-HD (2560 x 1321 pixels) display stretches from the left edge to the right edge of the device and there’s no physical home button.

Thankfully though, your Essential PH1 device comes with an easy to access gesture that lets us enable the one handed mode feature that solves this issue in no time.
