The weight you feel when using the phone with one hand
The "Oppo A1k (2019) 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.

Holding the "Oppo A1k (2019) 32GB" with one hand tends to feel unstable when buttons are displayed on the edge of the screen. The size of the buttons doesn't make it impossible but it does make it more likely that you will drop it so take care.

Ease of typing in letters using the keybord funtion
If you aren't being careful it is really easy to mistype when using the "Oppo A1k (2019) 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.
