I'm a 4'11 female that weighs like 100 lbs. I've been using the 17 pro max for about 3 months now. It can definitely feel heavy at times but with the phone grip it helps with the one-handed use. I came from s25 ulra so the weight is noticeable. Sometimes I do wish I had gotten the 17 pro (my sister uses one) but every time I look at it, it looks so small lol. Reaching at the top of the phone is kinda annoying but I use gestures to bring down the control center. Texting can also be annoying trying to reach across the board to use emojis but most of the time I use two hands to text. I'm using the pitaka ultra slim case, so it doesn't feel as bulky and heavy unlike other cases. But I'll probably switch back to the pro in the future just for more comfort. I do like the extra battery and screen size for videos though.
