I want a phone I can use with a single hand, that has a really good camera (within physical smartphone limits, of course), still has upper class hardware specs and doesn't place me on Apple's property.

If those are your only requirements, there are a ton of Android-based smartphones out there, based on your hand size. Google's Pixel, Samsung's galaxy, Sony's weirdly named series to name a few.

Maybe if you're Andre the giant. The last truly one-handable smart phone was the iPhone 5/SE.

Also a long time iPhone 5/SE advocate. It was the last 0hone with flat edges(maybe not anymore). I am convinced they dedigned the following generations off a bar of soap, requiring another $30+ case, or an expensive screen replacement.

As i said, depends on your hand size. For me, the Pixel 6 is uncomfortably small. If I'm not mistaken Sony's weirdly named series (1-1 and stuff like this) have small-sized models ( even if on the longer side).

Really? I found the Pixel 5 to be on the small side, but the Pixel 6 is pretty large and unwieldy (imo) by comparison.
Also, the Xperia 5 series is their "smaller size" flagship. It's larger than the Pixel 5, but a fait bit smaller than the Pixel 6. Still a bit large for my tastes.
