Fingerprint sensors
My phone has an in-display fingerprint sensor and I am never going back.
Mine has one too but I still miss when they were putting them on the back of phones
Was just an easier spot to me
Back of the phone was the best. I could pull my phone out of my pocket and unlock my phone in single motion and decent grip. Plus the swipe gestures for accessing the notifications bar...
Despite enjoying multiple models of the phone I currently have I won't get a new model because the sensor is on the power button. Back of the phone supremacy under screen is OK if it works, power button sensor can burn in a hole.
Same. The back sensor on my pixel 4a was positioned perfectly for me and didn't leave one big thumbprint smudge like the in-screen on my 6.
It was also much more responsive
I have a Pixel 6 with underscreen fingerprint reader and I love it. Only wish it was a tad faster and a little less prone to not recognising my thumb occasionally. Hopefully the tech is already better in newer models.
In case you haven't already, I've found that adding the same fingerprint multiple times makes it a lot more reliable.
