Really? I don't even think p10 plus is slippery xD.
For me it sits really well in my hand and hardly slippery at all. Mostly glass backplate ones are slippery.
But this one with aluminum back makes it sturdy and not slippery at all.
I think every aluminium unibody is slippery,
I cant tell you too much by my exerience,
But iPhone 5 slippery but small you can grip the whole device well.
HTC One M7 slippery and the back curved like a shell its a great phone, but a horrible ergonomics for me.
iPhone 6 - 7 same as Huawei P10 and P10 Plus.
I dont know what about the blue and green Huawei which has a diamond cut pattern on the back maybe those models are better, but the sandblast black P10Plus which is 5.5" is horrible to hold operate with. Everyone loves manufacturers ditching the plastic but some phones was way better with some plastic and other material mix.
For example: Motorola Droid Razr Xt910
Pladtic + kevlar combo loved it, looked well, felt well it was durable. Today all premium device is glass or metal.
I think it's awesome. I had a OnePlus 3T which was always flipping out of my hand. Lumia 950Xl was awesome with the plastic back. LUMIA 1520 was too thin. IPhone 4s was good
My opinion is that it depends on your hands size. Normal size hands, normal grip. I would say it is not slippery.

Am I the only one who could care less about phone thickness, within reason?
I notice in all the accessories forum, people are complaining about how extended batteries and cases make the phone too thick, and by thick they mean like 2mm. thicker, so the phone is still like half an inch thick at the most.
Is it just me, or does anyone else like some thickness so it feels more sturdy in my hand rather than an envelope which seems to be what people want.
For example, an iPhone, I actually really like how it looks like a phone in theory but has a good sturdy block looking build, Evo4G, same thing, decent sized, feels like a premium handset.
Any supporters out there of some thickness?
I'm with you. I need some thickness for it to be comfortable, too slim and it doesn't feel great to hold for a long period of time. And they should give us bigger stock batteries as oppose to a tiny bit skinnier.

To an extent I suppose. I don't want to be carrying a phone the thickness of an old iphone, but the sgs 2's slimness has made me paranoid when holding it. I'm just not sure right now, but I guess as long as it is light like the sgs 2 and not heavy like the HD2 I guess.
i think they is a certain cut off point. Something like the Huawai p1 at 6.6mm is too thin but the iPhone at 9mm is a little too thick. I guess this sweet spot varies per person and phone size. if i had a massive 4.65 inch screen (like the GNexus) i think the 9mm would be nice if it is a smaller sleeker device (like the iPhone) then around 9mm isn't enough for me
To me thickness matters. If a phone is thin, then it's easy to keep it in your pocket regardless of its other dimensions. But if it's thick it will feel bulky in your pants even if it's a relatively compact phone.
Thickness matter if a phone is fast
For these size screens we're getting, I think a thickness around 8mm is good, a little thinner than iPhone.

Totally agree. I prefer my Galaxy S2 with a case on because it makes it a bit thicker.
i like my phones paper thin
it's coming...
flexible screens are already being produced by Samsung
It matters a bit... I had a very thick case that was over 1cm, after switching to a thinner case my phone felt a lot nicer in my hand and in my pocket.
I hate chunky things. The thinner the better! Can't wait until phones are as thin as credit cards. Why? Thin things takes less space and it looks much better from a design perspective.

I agree, but I wish all phones had better battery life. I can barely make it through day on my SGS2. Hopefully in 2 years it will improve
If I had money, I would get a credit card. If I had a credit card, I would donate.
I agree with the guy who liked the EVO 4G. It has the perfect sweet spot to me. Just thick enough to feel sturdy and quality and thin enough to be thin. I'm thinking of upgrading to the EVO 3D because I also like it's thickness (or thinness, not sure). The newest phones just feel too thin and flimsy to me. I feel like they aren't quality because they're so light and thin. They almost feel cheap.
Then again, like someone said, it varies by the person. Everyone has their preferences.

Feels great, not that heavy and fits my paw just right. Don't feel I will drop it due to it being unbalanced or anything like that
Perfect weight balance in combination with very smooth and HQ unibody. Feels simply great to me
To be honest with you guys., quality is bad (frost white).
Where?
"Aluminum is "very soft" it's mean is cheap. Chrome bezels are scratching without any force.
Drapped my phone from my hands to the table, somehow the piece of plastic between the screen and the metal bezel got bite off ! (Maybe it just a rare case of situation, but still).
We got gorilla glass 4., damn my left upper corner got light scratching on it., I have no idea how guys. And I always super careful with my gadgets.
Ergonomic is ok, the sharp bezels bothering a hand for a long time of hold.
So basicly as a person with a big experience who "constantly" changing the phones and "spending a lot of money", I can say huawei quality from 10 to 1 is "7"
Compare to latest premium build devices as a Apple/Samsung/Sony, Huawei is loosing.
(HTC quality ? It was always good ! (good aluminum) but somehow my front bottom speaker grill (m9), got stick off from right corner. So ? Premium aluminum but bad coincidence? Maybe.)
Do I like the generally the phone? -YES it's beautiful design, good hardware. Do you like a quality? -NO.
Best Regards
Feels nice in the hand. Quality build and I love the texture of the back.
Looks premium but feels cheap in the hand.
Lookwise would give it 8 and feels like a 6.5.
Here I'm comparing 6p to S6, M9, 6S build quality. Now they look and feel premium but all of those phones were far more expensive at time of launch.
Nexus just feels as if it will scratch and mark up so easily due to aluminum being so thin, paper thin.
I'm quite happy with it but that's mainly because of stock android otherwise would not buy it.
I think it feels very nice.
Maybe not like an iphone, but it reminds me on a HTC. Only the volume up/down keys are a little bit shappy.
The rest is really premium!
The phone feels very great! However, it feels as if it would take no force at all to bend this thing
Beautiful phone but it definitely seems like some corners were cut with the build quality. The aluminum feels subpar, plastic piece on bottom could have been avoided and volume button should be reinforced.

The build quality is awesome, and the thin edges are great for a slimmer feel. But the edges can be sharp for longer periods. Also, the headphone jack on the top is just wrong. Put it on the bottom.
no denying that metal makes things heavy , but this phone feels a tad too heavy for my liking .
I have mixed feelings, it's my first metal framed phone, feels obviously slippery on the sides and in the same time it is great and something new, but this sandstone back is the major reason of those feelings, not that grippy as expected and it's like rough paper under fingers, it's just something unique and that's all.
My thoughts after almost 1 year:
1) too heavy.
2) metal quality really poor. After paying a lot of attention the phone has all metal angles washed-up.
3) Screen is not responsive from time to time and this is annoying while using with 1 hand
4) home button randomly not responsive.
5) good feeling while having phone on the ear while talking.
I would not buy it again.
With Sandstone cover it feels good and I quite like it.
With Bamboo and Rosewood style swap covers it feels a bit slippery.
It feels just great in original silicone case.
Screen size is just right for me

It's really ergonomic
I've the OEM (Xiaomi) Shockproof Case and the Mi5 still good in hand not too big neither too heavy
I go with my thumbs (i've very large hands) on the top of the screen without the need to move the phone.
How does the glass back feel in hand? Is it like the Samsung S7? Had one in hand today and felt kind of warm and slippery, not that premium.
Feels better than Mi 4c, especially in landscape mode when you're playing games or taking pictures.
Feels really good in the hand. Easy 1 hand usability. Light. Comfortable to hold cause of the curved back and edge.
It is slippery though!
sometimes if holding "incorrectly" in palm, the edge could be wrongly "touched" and affect the touch on the screen.
This is one of the aspect where probably Mi5 is one of the best mobile absolutely.
5.15 inch, less than 130 g, just perfect.
Also with a cover it still remains really handy.
Screen has sharp edges, not really pleasure to hold. And it's slippery a lot, you can't even put it on desk/glass because it immediately slip and fall down.
Back panel is nicely curved, overall looks good ?
Moto X with leather back and 2.5D front is much better with these. I'm starting looking for back skin...
at first i thought having curve back was good but not really with mi5 because of the sharp feel of metal bezel. its slippery as well with the glass. otherwise it feel good for one handed phone use
It really fits perfect in my hands but with wet hands or when the phone is really cold (during winterdays) it is slippery. I was lucky enough to not let it fall down (doesn't like cases at all, they ruin the optic of any phones )
It fits your hand very good nothing is too far to tap
Excellent ergonomics
Personally it is one my favorite phones to hold for extended periods of time. The curved glass back tires perfectly in my palm and it is the perfect size for one handed use. Currently have a poco F1 but it's hard to change to as it is heavier and often find myself nursing the touch buttons
I like it. For using with one hand, the one hand mode thing becomes very usefull, as allow you to reach the upper corners.
Since all newer phones are bigger and heavier, donĀ“t see it getting any better soon.

I thought there would be more posts in the 'handling section' I am interested in people's experiences. How does it compare to your previous phones for holdability? We are so use to looking for specs ergonomics is way down the list. But when all is said and done how this handles is a huge factor in people's experience. From the look of I would expect this to be as slippery (and as shinny) as an eel. Have sensible folk donned a case or a skin or perhaps not?
The form factor feels excellent in the hand. It's easy to handle and has a "one handed mode" as well if needed. Though it is extremely slippery specially if you have dry hands at most times. Also mainly to the fact that the back glas also has an oleophobic coating like the screen has. This is a huge positive in my opinion though as it makes the back as easy to clean as the front. More slippery yes but doesn't attract dirt as much as other glas phones and when it does it's easy to clean.

You can try to put on a case to reduce the slipperiness.
One of the most beautiful design..feel really good in hand.
Its severity is a well-proportioned hand-to-sine ratio.
Such a great phone to hold. The smaller screen and the glass body make it feel really great.
