Wonderful

Nothing feels like this phone in the hand.
It's gorgeous..very sultry, very smooth...
And the screen feels like so.
I sleep with it!

Best was M8
This phone is also awesome

To me it's a bit heavy and thick. I feel stupid for saying this since it's just 11 grams heavier and 0.5 cm thicker than my OP3... But it IS noticable. The curved back makes it a bit nicer to hold, but it FEELs like an older, less premium phone in my hand.
On my OP3 I have the bamboo case which is basically 1mm thick, while I have a transparent soft plastic case (since i have the red phone and want to see that..) on the U11 and that adds 2 mm thickness. That doesn't help with the "premium" feel, of course.
On all other aspects the U11 is superior, battery life, camera, CPU/GPU. It irks me to no end that Oreo is out for the OP3 and that HTC still clings to that idiotic S-OFF/S-ON crap.. First and last HTC phone for me.

Don't take the back cover off very often. My phone didn't make the creak noises like other plastic phones when it was new.
I am very happy with the phone. It feels solid. Yes the back is plastic, but it comes off and goes back on easily and feels good. The only negative I would say is the speaker used, I purchased the Prime version but even if I had bought the full priced one for $100 I really could not have asked for a nicer phone. I will happily recommend this phone.
Solid feel to the buttons. Back comes off nicely, but can be hard to snap back on without using force. Screen glass scratches VERY easily! Buy a screen protector/case as soon as you can!

Coming from the iPhone 5s it is weird getting used to. It is a bit slick in the hand.

Coming from iphone and you call a phone with a textured back and rubber surrounds 'slick'? That is weird as hell. I've never felt at risk of dropping this bad boy.

Coming from an iPhone 5s, the size is probably a major contributing factor for me. It's awkward to get used to the size. But, compared to the regular Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, I would assume the Active has way more grip in the hand with its rubber/metal/plastic body. I love this phone though. Best phone I've ever owned. And I haven't dropped it yet after a month of owning it!

it gets exhausting to an unbearable degree to click continuously on a physical keyboard that is positioned on the lower edge of a heavy phone. Plus, the "convenience" key and the power key are in positioned in an area that is easily prone to accidental clicking when gripping the phone with both hands while typing.
I wish they had positioned the power key on the top just like old phones.
advice: stick an elastic strap in the back of the phone for an easier gentle grip.

The back of my unit is glossy plastic which feels kind of rubbery and cheap, something fixed with the 8a. You definitely should use a case with this device.
I can't say if its just me, but the size of the phone is just so good. Anything bigger than this makes a phone too hard to be used with one hand and fitting in pockets and anything smaller might ruin the viewing experience.
It is too hard to find anything with this size or smaller in the market these days(In case of android).
Although the phone feels plastic it still is much easier on hands than the enormous phablets these days which are difficult to hold in one hand and carry in pockets.

Its good, but wish they would have had a smaller note 20 with about a 6.5" display that had the same exact form factor, same design, same features, with only a smaller battery and smaller display. I would have bought it instead. This phone is a bit too big sometimes.
Big problem, the camera bump. Clearly it's going to be ending up scratching the lens. I purchase a case about that let's see when I will receive it.
That makes the phone not straight, with a big bulge, unstable.
Also, the phone is somehow slippery, I already made it fall like 5 times. Rarely happened in years with the other phone. It seems that the weight is not balance also, probably due to the bulge. I am hoping the case will provide more grip.
Without a case the bump is a real problem and the phone is too slippery. My 1TB S10+ bit the dust when I was briefly using it without a case and it slipped from my hand. My Note 3 suffered a cracked screen when, once again, it was temporarily without case and fell 50cm from my lap to the ground.
Now I always use a case unless I am feeling particularly stupid. The clear TPU case that came with the phone greatly increases grip, adds some protection at least and somewhat reduces the offensiveness of the camera bump.
No issues with camera bumb since clear view case, but the corners are too sharp for the jeans pockets...
I may have to give up the best phone I've ever had because it's simply too heavy. It pains my hand to hold it all day because of course it has replaced my laptop and everything else over the years, even my tv. But it sucks to hold this thing and I'm dreading switching now that I've customized the stuffings out of it over the months.
Too lopsided , too big. Note 10 Plus was a much better feel in my opinion.

I've done the same as you with the 10+
The SD card serves as the data drive; my favorite way to setup a PC. Lol, I keep my laptop isolated from the internet.
As for managing the bulk...
Try the Zizo Bolt case. Very easy to hold; a lot of different ways to hold it including by it's kick out stand.
I've been using it on my 10+ for over a year. It makes the phone a lot more user friendly.
It has a real nice in hand feel nestled in its Caseology Parallax case with good, proportioned weight distribution.
Feels heavy. I use a case very VERY rarely and thr phone is bit heavy. Thr camera bump is bad when you use your phone flat on a table and you use tour pen... Very bad when you use phone pen like that.
Except those thr pgone feels very premium in the hand, no othet phone feels soo good in the hand.i love it, but the above mentioned sometimes make it a hard relationship hahah
