Hi all. I'm planning on getting either a Pixel 9 Pro or a Galaxy S25+ as my next phone.
I'm using a typical third-party tripod/selfie stick (which has grip that runs across the display). So, I wanted to ask which phone would be ideal in terms of avoiding accidental button presses thinking about which phone has better button placement on the right side?

I did had a look and have put it on my current device (Xiaomi 14). Obviously it's not possible to try them on the Pixel 9 Pro or the S25+ as i do not have those phones.
I'm very much aware of the button placements of both phone. And looking at GSMArena's 3D comparison tool it would appear the S25+ has a slightly adjusted (i.e. higher) power button so i can place the tripod's grip in the middle portion of the screen so can i can still use the power button and unlock the fingerprint scanner on the buttom part of the screen.
Can you see what i mean here?

I could do that. But may look awkward turning up with a tripod and trying the thing on the phones.
I have another thought: If i choose to unlock a Pixel 9 Pro using Face Unlock then i don' need to worry about unlocking via fingerprint scanner or worrying about button placements and tripod grips. Would you agree?

But, what is your take on this issue.
Are you a Pixel person or a Galaxy / Android person in button placements with regards to tripod palcemernts?
