    I wouldn’t hold out too much hope on that. I started on a pixel 1 then a 3xl (both had power button fingerprint sensors that were awesome) then moved to a 5, 6 and 7 with in screen readers. They’re all crap. I gave up using the one on my 7 almost entirely.

    Google can’t seem to get that part figured out. It is exacerbated on custom ROM’s in my experience as well (Graphene mainly on the 7).

    Currently using a flip6 with power button reader and it was a revelation going back to a working fingerprint reader.

      The 5 is the last not in the screen, and it just works, on factory, DivestOS, Lineage and Graphene (I’ve run them all).

      It’s part of why I stay on the 5.

      In the Pixel 5, the “a” is a larger phone. I don’t think there’s a 7a, it’s like 7, 7 Pro, and one other, I think.

        Its a mess honestly. Sanity checking myself, 5a was larger, 6a and 7a were smaller. There was also a 3a and 3a xl. Lol

        Seems the only consistency is inconsistency.
