I "upgraded" from a Samsung Galaxy S9 to a Pixel 7 this year, only because Samsung stopped doing security updates. Big disappointment for me, too. The fingerprint scanner from that 2018 phone was 10x more reliable than the in-screen thing that the Pixel uses.

I don't miss the battling software ecosystems (Samsung vs Google) on that old phone, though.

Oof. I forgot about how much better Samsung's sonic FP readers were. Yeah completely forgot about that from the S10e. I will say for the Pixel it's a little bit better now than it was at launch.
