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 may add I've owned the V35, V40, V50 and V60. I'm a video specialist and the manual video control with audio levels have been a lifesaver more often than not.

I miss my fingerprint reader on the back 😭

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

That said, why not both? It's not that expensive of a component. Cameras cost far more and we're fine having 3-5 of them on devices now.

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
