Again fingerprint scanner in power button, way to be hostile to left-handed people. Hard pass.


I'm left-handed but never had a pixel or a recent android phone. What is the problem exactly? Something about the index finger print vs the thumb?


It’s impossible to comfortably unlock phone without using right hand.


Huh? My left thumb can reach the button just as well as my right one when using one hand. This is on a iPhone SE


It’s mounted on the right side on Pixel fold, like on Samsung S10e and Samsung fold.

See “sustainability” paragraph.

Oh yes that looks very unfriendly for lefties


You can scan your index fingerprint right?


That’s uncomfortable compared to using thumb.
