Nearly 500 smartphone brands have left the market since 2017 - Lemmy.world

Were they real or just shit novelty, scams, or rebadges and sister brands of those multi brand companies like BBK?
LG was the shit. Best DAC, first to the multi cam game, clean looks, innovative designs, pristine screens.
I miss my fingerprint reader on the back 😭
With the swipe down gesture to notis 😪
Same, but on the Pixel series. The rear scanner was so perfectly placed. My finger fell right onto it and it read so much faster than the stupid in-screen one is.
I don’t. Having it under the screen like Pixels makes it possible to unlock the device without picking it up.

I take my phone out of my pocket and unlock it more often than I unlock it and leave it on a table, so the back makes way more sense

Put your hand in your pocket, take your phone out, and it’s already unlocked by the time you look at it

In my experience (having used Pixel 7 nonpro for a while) it doesn’t always pick up your finger. Side-mounted (power button) sensor is the nice compromise imho
