Ok, that's how it is on my Samsung now. I use Nova Launcher for the double tap to sleepsorry, double tap works to wake the screen, but not to sleep.
Just found there are a few apps available as a workaround, like this one:
I now have a transparent widget on my homescreen and a button in the quick settings, pull down.
One Click Lock Screen - Apps on Google Play
Simple app to lock the screen, it also supports unlocking with fingerprint.play.google.com
They do require the accessibility permission though.

Thanks, I'll have to check out Nova again. I remember purchasing nova prime, but haven't used a third party launcher for years.

Any 25% codes floating round.
Here's the Google Pixel 9a's exact release date
And also the date when pre-orders start. The Google Pixel 9a has long been rumored to arrive earlier in the year than its predecessors, with the launch...
So, pre-orders will allegedly start on March 19, and the phone will start shipping on March 26 - which is also when it will become available in stores.
The Pixel 9a is rumored to come with a 6.28-inch OLED screen with 2,700-nit peak brightness, the Tensor G4 SoC, 8GB of RAM, a 48 MP main camera, a 13 MP ultrawide, and a 5,100 mAh battery. It will be offered in four colorways: Obsidian, Porcelain, Iris, and Peony.
Some great deals on at the moment via ID Mobile. Tempted to finally upgrade from my Pixel 5.
I was contemplating iPhone 15/16 Pro but having recently used a P7 Pro and seeing the camera and video is a big step up then can only imagine the 9 takes it up a notch or two more.

Finally managed to get an esim from O2.
Tried yesterday, but after requesting, they disabled my physical sim and issued an esim. But then I couldn't log into their app to download the esim because it wanted to send me security codes via text message which I was unable to receive due to the physical sim being disabled.
After calling again to have the physical sim turned back on again I ran out of codes yesterday and could not log in again until this afternoon.
Today the agent swapped my contact details before doing the switch, so I could receive codes on my old phone/2nd number.
Then had to set up a hotspot so the pixel could connect and dl the esim. Sheesh..
