  Same, but on the Pixel series. The rear scanner was so perfectly placed. My finger fell right onto it and it read so much faster than the stupid in-screen one is.

  I don’t. Having it under the screen like Pixels makes it possible to unlock the device without picking it up.

    I take my phone out of my pocket and unlock it more often than I unlock it and leave it on a table, so the back makes way more sense

    Put your hand in your pocket, take your phone out, and it’s already unlocked by the time you look at it

    In my experience (having used Pixel 7 nonpro for a while) it doesn’t always pick up your finger. Side-mounted (power button) sensor is the nice compromise imho
