One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is extremely versatile port, but you only get one and it’s used for charging half of the time. (I am aware dongles exist)

        The two-stage shutter button from Sony cameras and phones is something I miss dearly.

          Half press focus?

          Sounds neat, but phone sensor is so small and focal length is wide so even if you just mash the shutter immediately, pretty much everything is in focus anyway. I can see why they did away with it.

      Double press power button to start camera, use volume up/down to take image.

      Should work on almost any Android phone.

        I jiggle my wrist to open my camera app. And chopping motion turns on the flashlight

          If you have a Motorola phone then you should just be able to twist your wrist to open the camera instead. Also chop to turn on the flashlight. I miss chop to flashlight the most when I switched away from Motorola.

            Yes. Those actions work.

            I wasn’t really looking for how to do it though.

            I was just pointing out that the previous comment about double pressing power does not just work on any Android .

          On my Pixel, I have long press of the power button for Assistant. Volume Up and Power brings up the power options which are rarely ever used.
