Lol. I love how "I'm not familiar with this" immediately defaults to "it's awful".
Top left of the screen takes you back to your previous app, double clicking the home button shows all your previous apps. Apps that require going backwards have their own buttons, top left of the screen in the Chrome app has back/forward buttons.
I don't like the size of phablets either, I even prefer the smaller 6S to my G4, that being said you can alleviate some of the frustration by double touching (not clicking) the home button. It'll scooch everything halfway down the screen until you interact with it, so you can hit the top row of buttons while using the phone one handed.
Not that it helps you if the device is locked down, but after all my different iterations of smartphones, my personal "perfect porridge" is an Apple phone running almost exclusively Google apps. As soon as I got this 6S I dumped all the default Apple shit into a folder and replaced it with Gmail/Chrome/Google Maps/Google Search/Google Docs/Google Calendar/etc. The only default Apple apps I use regularly are the Messenger/Phone/Alarm/Find Friends. Oh and Apple Pay I guess, I've actually been using that quite a bit.
