ABSTRACT
Humans can see the whole world just through cellphones, gadgets, or other media, which means that people can access anything easily just by using the latest available technologies related to how to hold the cellphone itself comfortably and maximum. This research uses observational descriptive research. The sample in the study was determined using the method of simple random sampling. The Lemeshow formula was used to measure the total sample that must be obtained in this research which resulted in 100 samples. Researchers took pictures of how to use a cell phone, measured hand anthropometry, and collected demographic data using a questionnaire that was filled out using Google Forms. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was performed to determine whether the data was normal or not. There were 18 prehensile groups found in this study which were then alphabetically divided into groups from A to R group, with type A 34%, type B 15%, type C 1%, type D 3%, type E 4%, type F 5%, type G 7%, type H 2%, type I 6%, type J 4%, type K 6%, type L 1%, type M 3%, type N 3%, type O 3%, type P 1%, type Q 1% and type R 1%. From anthropometric measurements, the research got results that the size of hand dimensions among the samples are larger than a standard smartphone in the study.
