What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
(lemmy.world)
For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone
Hard disagree here. Your fingers are already on the display to use your phone, fingerprint reader in the front makes far more sense.
Often my phone is on a table, all I need to unlock it is touch the screen. No need to pick it up.
I wouldn't buy a phone with the fingerprint reader in the back.
My problem with the fingerprint reader in the display is that it just doesn't work well. I'm on a pixel 7 pro, and more often than not it will try and fail a few times, then require a pin unlock. My pixel 5 with the fingerprint reader on the back was nearly flawless.
My Pixel 7 fingerprint reader was unusably bad on Android 13 but now works well on Android 14.
