      Position of this button is not good. Should be 12-15mm closer to right bottom corner

There has been custom gestures for Android since, at least, 2017. Scrolling gestures has existed on fully customisable fingerprint sensor buttons since then. This is only new and innovative if you insist on compartmentalise features into differences only visible in a microscope.

                          Example: how do you expect the ultrasonic finger scanner from Qualcomm to become cheaper if Chinese brands will be moving to Goddix sensor?

                          You do not need to wait apple to use something that probably is not even $2,00

                          It is funny this excuse was not accepted by you all when many brands were using periscope style module but iphone wasn't.

                                        Instead of adding a side fingerprint scanner (it looks like one) there added this, that would only be usable in landscape mode and people love holding their phones in portrait mode when taking photos apart from ultra wide shots. Again the notch aka dynamic island isn't okay Apple? You had to add a side one 2x the size of top one when you press the capture sensor? Lol
