The "Xperia XZs SOV35 au 32GB" is a size that allows you to have a firm grip even while using it. Since your hand is kept stable, it is difficult to accidentally drop the phone, and it is very easy to use. Since the original body size is small, the phone is still easy to hold even when using a case.

The weight you feel when using the phone with one hand

The "Xperia XZs SOV35 au 32GB" is a slightly heavy smart phone so using it with one hand for a short period doesn't cause any pain, however when used for long periods continuously it can hurt your hand.

Ease of pushing the upper button on the screen using one hand

Even when used with one hand, the "Xperia XZs SOV35 au 32GB" has a size which allows buttons on the edges of the display to be operated. However, people with small hands may lose their grip if they try to press the buttons at the edges.

Ease of typing in letters using the keybord funtion

If you aren't being careful it is really easy to mistype when using the "Xperia XZs SOV35 au 32GB" with two hands since the buttons are so small. In addition, typing at high speeds is pretty difficult and I can't say its very suited for it.
