    5 III here and it’s generally been good for 3.5 years now, but I’ve been disappointed to find the fingerprint reader stopped working recently. Apparently this is a somewhat widespread issue due to the narrow, edge-located design that allows too much moisture underneath it.

      Yours lasted longer than mine. Mine gave out after 2 years. I’m still using it though. I wish the screen were a bit brighter and the speakers a bit louder. Other than that it’s the perfect phone.

      That’s disappointing. Considering, its IP68 rated. I have a samsung from 2022 the fingerprint side button still works fine.
