Perfect feel in the hands - curved edges and back means no digging into your palm. Balance for such a large phone is perfect. They really nailed the ergos on this.
In terms of weight, coming from a 143 grams weighing iPhone 6s.. this phone feels absolutely normal, and I can't help but feel that "everyone's" complaints about the weight of the ROG 2 is completely unjustified and narrow-minded. The balance is also great on it, and surely makes things even better.
The thing I can, for now, agree with the haters, is the inability to use this phone one handed. But guess what? Now I don't "multitask" (use my phone one handed while doing something else half-bakedly) anymore and I think that's really a good thing. I still try to, it just doesn't work and forces me to put my phone away.
In terms of tactile feel, it's great, Holding it is smooth, and the screen, buttons, sides, back/case back all feel smooth, firm, but never uncomfortable.
Overall, 9/10. Without considering the battery inside. What a phone.

My 19 yo son just bought himself one of these, as his first serious phone purchase. I was trying to convince him to save a little more to get the Z3, but he wanted to purchase. Tell you what, I was really impressed on how light it was when I first held it. I guess that's due to the laminated screen instead of the glass? I'm also impressed by how nice it looks; it sure is a pretty phone. Now he just needs to get some mods.

The overall experience of this phone is very good, very light, except 4+64g is not enough and the forehead has a chin (I still think that the front fingerprint can be fully integrated into the back cover log). The sensor application is great. The screen is not bad, I think moto is the best manufacturer to use the sensor.

great - compact - feel
feels a lot like my xperia z5 compact (which i like); perhaps a little bigger but still nothing like the larger android phones you see everywhere (i briefly used a moto 4g and nokia 6)
this being the first lager phone that I have had, coming from the Xperia z3c, it is actually much easier to handle than what I expected. I can reach the whole screen, but only with fairly loose grip.

This is the only flagship phone (during launch...a bit dated now) that comes close to the iPhone X size. Pixel 2 has the same overall size but the bezel is damn thick!
My 2 latest phone was s8 and XZ1 compact. S8 is ergonomic nightmare for holding. Sony is super but have too big bezels. SIROCCO is a little bit weider for me. But is short and that is better. And that luxury feeling, have no other phone like this.

Similar size to the Mi5 but feels quite a lot bigger due to the edge design which makes one handed use more difficult.
Got it for 2 weeks now, changed my Mi5s Plus, this one is quite smaller and very comfortable to handle (I have small hands btw). The small bezels make it a little hard sometimes as it does register touches on the sides sometimes which may be an issue at first, but I got used to it.

Did you have a thick case on the Mi 5s? There is no doubt this handles worse than the Mi 5. The GSMArena review said this is because there are no sharp edges on the sides and they are rounded, which i agree with.

I like got some getting used to, coming from the s10 e . the size is OK now. I wouldn't want to go larger. other than that with the otterbox case on it the phone is still slim enough to handle
I'm a balance the phone on my little finger and thumb type one handed guy. I much prefer this phone once it's in a case for more grip. it's not the best for using while laying down, I'm considering a pop socket.

I saw in review, this is heavy. Yeah it is. We can not hold and chat for long time while lying. It's literally hard. Sometimes gives pain to fingers after long hold. Using the back case makes more thicker. Definitely the light weight users will take time to make it comfortable. Slightly making me to feel like having old Nokia N70. Thickness makes me to think like that.
it is indeed very heavy - thankfully i am a big guy with big hands but even then I notice after a while my hands/fingers get tired.
I run a lot as well and hold the phone in my hand, and after a while noteice that too.
Its way too big for my wife she cant hold it at all.
All phones these days are huge, around 200-215 grams with big camera bumps its just the new norm. Personally I have no problem with the size and it actually is a really good feeling phone in the hand, has grip and even though the back is plastic is feels very nice and doesn't seem to scratch too easy
It's way too heavy when you add case and screen protector. My phone is like 240g now. Hate it. Last time I buy a heavy phone
Heavy? It is
But handfeel is about density and weight distribution.
I had Oppo A5 2020 (195 Gram) before Poco X3. It felt heavier because it was less wide (720p display).
Poco X3 is okayish for the battery and screen size
Weight distribution is also fine.
Also, I have held iphone 12 pro max (my friend complained about the weight, I thought it wouldn't be that different from my Oppo) and yes because it is thinner and weighs 236 grams, it feels very heavy.
