    JUST PUT IT ON THE BACK...

    I hate that my screen blinds me and people nearby when I use biometrics. I understand the security problems with bio too, I guess I ought to just delete the option.

      Ultrasonic fingerprint sensors aren't optical like the older under-screen ones. They don't need to go bright to get a reading.

      This will not blind you, it shouldn't boost brightness at all.

        The pixel 9 doesn't do the blinding thing anymore, and it works pretty well. This is apparently an even better version of that.

        Don't disagree that on the back should be a thing too, the sensor on the back of the pixel 5 (IIRC?) was perfectly quick and had a few useful gestures you could use it for. I doubt it would increase the BOM much to just have both considering we're talking at phones that cost a grand

          Like others have already said the 9 doesn't use light/optics but it still sucks compared to the one on the back. I use, but generally dislike the P9 finger print reader. I've gone so far as not using a screen protector to help that stupid thing. Still has way too many error reads

            *on the power button.

            My s10e had this, and it's the best IMO.

            You can also swipe it to pull down the notification shade.

                Yea my 5a has the correct placement - I upgraded out of wanting a better phone camera. Got the 8 pro and not that much is different anyways.

                  I hate that. My pixel tablet has it as well, and besides it being terribly unreliable which is surely just that particular implementation, it's also annoying when it does work. Just want to quickly turn on the screen to pause music or check a notification or something, and it'll just immediately unlock. No thanks, I prefer separate actions to be separate buttons.
