    I miss my Pixel 1, which had a fingerprint reader on the back that I could easily touch with my index finger, and which was able to respond to up- and down-swipe gestures. For example, to open or close the notification shade.

      Pixel 2 xl same… Was so great, then I jumped to a note 10+… can’t use it as it’s on the screen now. It’s terrible design.

      I’m picturing it and it sounds like that would be asking for an rsi, but maybe in but picturing it correctly

        The fingerprint reader sat right in the middle of the back horizontally, and maybe one third from the top. Right where your index finger naturally rests if you grip it with your thumb on one side and fingers 3–5 on the other.

          I’m trying it on my phone and it doesn’t feel great… Feels like I’d have to really hold the phone steady while doing it
