This is awesome. I pretty much agree with all the ideal specs aside from preferring rear fingerprint sensors. I used to have the Pixel 2 (5" display) and it was pretty much my ideal phone, sadly it just kept getting buggier and buggier as apps got updated and it wasn't able to run the latest lineage as smoothly. Really disappointing as I had also just gotten accustomed to opening it up to replace the battery and do other repairs myself so maintaining it indefinitely wouldn't have cost me much as long as parts continued to be available.
Have you ever used the Xperia XZ Compact phones? They were who sold me to the fingerprint sensor in the power button. Fucking seamless experience there
My Retro II phone has it on the side where the power button would be. I really, really like that placement. It's also the fastest unlock I've ever seen in a phone.
Agree with you completely about preferring the fingerprint reader on the back.
It was just such intuitive placement. My finger landed right on it, and it was always super quick and accurate.
I freaking hate the in screen ones by comparison
