On the Z fold 7 does anyone have a problem with the power button being almost flush with the phone? Keep hitting the volume button. Maybe just my phone? Thank you!

Hi
I'm not as the volume button are slightly raised to the flushed home button that's how I can tell the difference as my thumb goes over them and I have the home button recognize touch to open .
 
Thank you, was just wondering if it was a defect on my phone.
No, I think it's just the design. It's difficult to push, especially with a case.

At first, I had the setting enabled to unlock the phone from off or AOD by touching the fingerprint sensor but then I would get too many vibrations from the fingerprint of non-registered fingers inadvertently touching.

Set my phone up last night, letting it transfer everything from my S23U to ZF7. Got late so only had a little time to play with it but this morning spent a little more time logging into apps and making some setting changes.

First impressions is... getting use to using the button over FPS, signing in to all my accounts in my apps, enabling biometrics, having to use press the side button for fingerprint a number of times... I miss and wish they put a FPS in the front screen :)

Thought I wouldn't mind side button, just use my right thumb. But when I like to use left handed, I have to use my index finger wrapped around phone to authenticate. When I hold phone in left hand, I added right finger because it's easier then using my programmed thumb in that position.

That's when I realized it would've been nice to have the FPS... almost everything can be done with a thumb on hand you are holding the phone.

Still getting use to position and feel of button to unlock phone but after having to adjust to position thumb or finger to unlock the phone I already set up face unlock to make things quicker.

Let me add though... I do think this phone is pretty crazy cool as I'm figuring stuff out.

It does get better the more you use it also are you using a case? I also use the phone mostly on my left and wrap my pointer while closed as well as use face ID. I set up three total fingerprints with two on the right hand.

Running naked except the Spigen tempered glass protector in front until my Pateka case comes in. Thought about a cheaper case in meantime but all the Spigens are not readily available on Amazon.

Same setup with the fingerprints on my phone too.
