Ah I'm 56, the touch screen on my phone has gotten finicky. I'll have to see if that would help in a pinch. I wouldn't want to rely on that all the time but under time pressure it is good to know about that.
I'm almost 40, some years ago I noticed that at winter I get more frustrated with my phones and start thinking of changing them.
It turned out each winter I make screens much more dirty and my fingers are drier. Touch gets more random, fingerprint readers success rate drops from 100% to more like 50%.
Nowadays I make sure I clean the screen with actual dedicated products often, and make sure I keep hands moisturized. It works well, even if the latter contributes to the former.
Haven't changed phone in over 2 years and still don't feel the need for change :)
i thought possibly bloodflow is less prevalent on the surface of your fingers in cold weather, and finger touches are harder to detect as a result, but i don't have data or proof.
You should really look at the S series by Samsung. I've been using Note devices since the Note 3, I would not give up the stylus for anything at this point.
