I think it's pretty useful... have you ever tried to put your phone somewhere for taking a self timed photo of your family or a group of people? It's rly difficult to get the right angle with your normal smartphone rear or front camera. With this you can just lay it on the ground (maybe a stone or something) and put the camera in the right angle.

If you're on a road trip, going camping or at a party, why would you want to put the phone somewhere on a rock or table and make it look like a staged college photo or weird professional family picture? Just for me personally it would look and feel silly, a normal selfie cam where I hold the phone is fine for me and it adds a flair of honesty and spontaneous-ness.

This review is spot-on. I have a Zenfone 6, and while it's not a world-beater in any one regard, it's just so incredibly well-rounded that it's tough to beat, or justify replacing. Solid camera? Great Battery life? Nice screen? Solid speakers? Check, check, check, and check. It looks like the Zenfone 7 takes this formula and ups the overall game which makes it a very compelling package.

My Razer Phone did the fingerprint sensor on the side. I just upgraded to an S20 ultra and I'm hating it on the screen, I wish more phones did it on the button.

honestly i am confused why they didn't do that. maybe it cost too much extra. Any small pin that would move into a recess in the camera box would have made it impossible for the thing to shake at all.

demolitionGoat a small part like that would have been prone to break and even worse could even obstruct the mechanism or in best case scenario leave a permanent noise when shaking the phone so I suppose for the sake (no pun intended) of durability they discard that option

@@Pro720HyperMaster720 I am pretty sure it's not the durability that's the issue. a small pin made of a magnet that sits in a recess with a spool behind it is all it would take to create a pin lock on that. That is 100% waterproof and has basically no chance of moving out of place or even just rattling if its machined well enough. It's gonna cost a pretty penny to create the flush fit recess in the phone shell and the spool though on top of taking up valuable space in the phone.

The 9T also features a pop-up front camera, 6GB/128GB, FP scanner under the screen, 48Mpx Sony camera etc, but comes with a SD730 (there was also the Pro version, but it has been replaced by the aforementioned K30 Pro). The Mi 10T is supposed to come out this month, though, globally, at ~$299 for the base model, whatever it is. I'm not sure if it's retaining the design, but it's worth waiting for the reveal to find out if you're into notchless, holeless screens on a reasonable budget. BTW, I have the 9T and like it quite a bit. :)

Unlocking a modern smartphone is a 2 steps process : take it, watch the screen and adjust your finger. Traditional fingerprint reader on the back, you just had to feel it and it was easy as your back cover had a hole and that was it. That's why I still prefer that. My wife says her p30 underscreen sensor "never works", I tested it and it's "OK", still she prefers a pincode!

Old samsung flagship used to do double back casing. My first android phone was Galaxy ace and it has interchangeable back covers, my brother bought a galaxy note and it has the same thing as well

I think there is a magnet inside the switch with a magnetometer to sense if it is locked, and also the selfie camera adjust thing can be used for when your phone is propped up and you need a better angle, I would also assume you could also use it to take a very stable panorama. as its stitching high quality vertical photos together.
