From my experience with the X for a solid 2 weeks I found I couldn’t use it with one thumb comfortably like I could use my 7. I use my 7 with one thumb without any hitches or adjustments. I have my 7 in a Magpul Field case which is a medium protective case and I had my X in a Otterbox Symmetry case which is medium protective case. It was pretty difficult using the X with one thumb even with reachability. Had to do a lot with the case because naked I could almost use the X with one thumb as good as my 7.

I sacrificed technology in favor of comfortable one thumb use and wanted the X to work but didn’t like 1 1/2 thumb / hand operation. I found myself using my thumb and having to use the opposite hand to navigate the X comfortably. I have a little smaller than average hands but not much.

Anyone prefer using the 7 still the one thumb champ?
