Yup. This is the central point that big phone people don't understand about small phone people. It isn't phone width. It's screen size.
Usually when using a phone one handed I'm not even touching the other side.
Most Android distributions (including Samsung's) have a one-handed mode that enables a gesture to shrink the screen into one of the bottom corners.

That is an ugly hack. We can do much more.

What your thumb can and cannot do is down to the human-computer interface. Shift the active area within thumb reach. Innovate.
A major pro of having a smaller phone is being able to reach anywhere on the _screen_ with just a thumb. While A40 and SE may have the same physical form factor, the former does not achieve this.
