It’s faster. You don’t have to be looking at it. You don’t have to long-swipe up the screen. It works while it’s lying on the desk/bed/couch. The SE is already unlocked by the time it’s out of my pocket, so I just see HN right away instead of holding it in front of me, looking at it, swiping up to authenticate and then seeing HN. Bonus that it works in stores with a mask on so I don’t have to type my passcode in public as a result of a FaceID phone seeing the mask and popping up the passcode prompt, or pulling down my mask temporarily.
