Fingerprint reader on the Pixel 7 works about half the time. I had to program one finger in 4 times to make it work that often. My Oneplus 6 (immediately previous phone) had a functional fingerprint reader.

OnePlus used to have a better UI as well, minor improvements on the stock Android UI that made it just a little bit nicer in places.

When I got my Pixel 7 though, I realized that for whatever reason, gboard on my oneplus 6 is unusually terrible. Like, 80% accurate typing terrible, and that gboard isn't always that bad.

> Gmail works perfectly

Gmail was the first good web email client. Everyone else realized they had to stop sucking, and now they are good. Gmail was realized in 2004 and is from a completely different era of Google.

My Pixel 7's fingerprint reader works near 100% of the time. The only time I have problems is if my finger or the screen are wet.

I usually use my left thumb after taking it out of my left pant pocket.

I also use a TPU screen protector, not glass. I've read that various glass protectors can interfere.
