I find this phone too difficult to use. I bought it as a 2nd phone because it was Android . I also have an iPhone.  I miss most of my incoming phone calls because I can’t slide the screen fast enough . Opening the phone is time consuming also finger, plus PIN. By time I get it open I’ve forgotten what I was trying to do. Searching is impossible with messages coming out on the task bar.

For opening your phone what would be easiest for you?

For example:
Fingerprint
PIN
Pattern
Face
or No lock at all?

Time consuming to open your phone, surely you jest! You don't have to lift your phone to open it. The time it takes to lift your phone to your face, an Android phone is open already with a fingerprint.

Did you know on Android devices you can set up trusted places? In my home and a few other trusted places my device stays unlocked. It will only turn off after sitting idle for an extended period and you will have to use biometrics or pin. I wish I could do that on my Ipad, no I have to unlock it each and every time I put it down for a minute. Talk about time consuming!

As to answering your phone @Pianodude58 gave you a solid choice as an alternative. I have my phone set to be answered, at least in my home, all I say is answer, it then will be on speaker phone.

Yeah, I forgot one time that I had set my phone answering option to always answer using speaker, because I usually only answer at home. Then I was traveling one day and got a phone call and when I tapped to answer it was on speaker.

I just take it off speaker. I wish there was a setting for answering whether you want to answer on speaker or not.

I like that also. Every thing else at home is voice activated .
