    I think even the worst sensors in new phones today are only as bad as the best ones a few years ago now, fwiw.

    High quality fingerprint scanners are almost a commodity part at this point

      I had a similar opinion when I was buying that phone - pretty much every phone had a fingerprint scanner and people generally didn’t complain about them, so decent scanners should have been mass produced and cheap - but HMD/Nokia managed to make me reconsider that opinion.

      For context, Nokia 5.3 is a 3 or 4 years old model, so it definitely doesn’t disprove your statement, but I remain sceptical.
