Long pressing power and any volume button is the actual combo, which is easy to activate even while its in your pocket.

And I agree, it is a tradeoff. It’s much better than half the people having the password 000000, which would be the alternative.

I really miss the power/lock button being on the top. Having to combine is just stupid. Normal devices have a single power button and getting to it should be not confusing based on orientation.

If you try it, you’ll find both work.

If you look at the settings, you’ll find that they are configurable.

The Emergency SOS setting controls whether actual calls are made. If you try it, it requires you to enter your password in either case but you can choose whether to enable the feature where it calls the local emergency number automatically.
