    Another reason why my previous phone was better than my current one: backside fingerprint scanner. Infinitely superior to a screenside fingerprint scanner, as I was able to unlock my phone in the same motion as picking it up or removing it from my pocket. With a screenside fingerprint scanner, it is no longer more convenient than just inputting the lock code.

      My new pet hate is that I’ll unlock it with a finger print, go to do a contactless card payment, and then it demands the fingerprint again, because it turns out the original unlock was the face detection, which is a lot faster than fingerprints but not secure enough for a small payment.

      I’d turn that off, but then it just takes ages every time I unlock my phone rather than the once or twice a day I need to buy something.
