Power button fingerprint sensors. I had one on my S10e, and I loved it - with the way I held the phone, my thumb naturally rested on the power button, so it was pretty much auto-unlocked.
Now they seem to have fallen by the wayside in favor of in-screen sensors - which are cool, but ever-so-slightly more cumbersome. Ah well, still better than facial recognition.
S10e was still one of my favourite phones. Right size, waterproof good fingerprint scanner placement. And a headphone jack! Now I’ve upgraded to an S22 which isn’t terrible, but it’s missing the headphone jack.
This is one of the big reasons I got a Galaxy Fold instead of one of the flagship slab phones, which all have under display readers at this point. It’s so much smoother.
I had a Flip 4 and an S10e before and I have a S23 now and I wish still had the side key fingerprint, the inscreen scanner often misreads my thumb for some reason.

This is why I loved the fingerprint sensor on the back of my pixel. I would be able to unlock it while taking it out of my pocket.
The bacj fingerprint scanner is what I absolutely miss most from my pixel 3a xl. The front scanner just sucks sooo bad in comparison.
Samsung is using them still on the Folds. I’ve got one on my Fold 4. Love it.
