Who said it has to be on the back? Bro said that's what he prefers over Face ID, maybe just has never had one on the lock button.

- stavros 1y agoIf it doesn't have to be on the back, he can just buy a phone with a fingerprint reader on the side today.
- rustyminnow 1y agoI see what you mean now. Having owned both kinds (and under-screen), I think they still have a point though - on the back was (slightly) better and I wish they'd come back.
- zevon 1y agoI would personally rank a traditional iPhone home button sensor and the backside sensors on certain Android devices as equally great for unlocking while sliding the phone out of a pocket and general convenience. Side button sensors work OK, too but I have much more misses on my supposedly more "modern" side button sensor phone than I ever had on old Pixels or any old iPhone with a home button sensor. I assume this is due to the size and general shape of a side button in comparison to an iPhone-style home button or old-Pixel-style back sensor which are bigger, indented and finger-guiding.
- godelski 1y agoI have. Better than FaceID and under screen but I still prefer on the back. It had other benefits and just felt nicer than in the lock button
