As a left-hander, I hope other manufacters don't move their fingerprint reader to the right edge of the device. Maybe the button is placed okay for another finger to wrap around the device and reach it? That probably depends on how finicky the reader is.
can't you just use index finger on the sensor?

3 years of Android version updates and at least 5 years of security updates. But I have to say, Apple's OS version updates are not always quite what they seem. My 2 year old iPad gets OS updates in name only. None of the major new iPad OS features are supported. That's fine if the hardware just isn't capable of supporting those features. But it sort of muddies the water compared to an Android device that doesn't get…
Are you serious? iOS upgrades give you the entire OS experience and upgraded app support with a few flashy features missing. Compare that to Android where the best case is invisible security updates and guess which causes upgrade anxiety? I'm an Android developer for a living but I use iPhones because the Android ecosystem is currently optimized for generating e-waste. SoC manufacturers generally don't make enough mo…

I hope I dont have to get a new phone anytime soon.
The only problem with Asus phones in general, which is also apparent in their ROG phones, is the lack of updates. Their hardware is top-notch, literally; I've never seen faster phones. But, they don't update them consistently enough, unlike Google and Samsung which have pledged multiple years of software support through Android releases.
Google keeps its phones up-to-date? I was under the impression that 3 years was the max with 2 being more likely.

I have a side mounted fingerprint reader, and from my experience, I can easily unlock it with either hand - using my right thumb or my left index finger. I think i also have a couple finger tips in there so I can unlock it when it's laying on a desk without needing to pick it up.
We've gotten to the point of peak absurdity where 5.9" is considered "ultra-compact". I'm in the market for a new phone right now, and it's baffling how ridiculously big most phones are right now. I only use mine for instant messaging and browsing Hacker News. 5" is more than enough for that.
From a compactness perspective, I now have a Samsung Z Flip 3 and it works just fine for me size-wise. I do always miss that reversible camera, though.
