      Seriously. I’m tired of blinding myself at night when trying to sleepily check my phone. The sensor on the back of my old pixel could also be used to pull down the notification shade which I can’t easily reach with one hand, now, since the screen is so large.

        On the back sucks, with your phone laying on a surface you can’t access the reader… Sony had it right, put it on the side, on the power button

      I had a phone with one on the back and currently have one with it on the screen. Personally I had absolutely no issues with its functionality in the screen and do prefer it over the back. I like that I can unlock my phone without having to pick it up off the desk or while its still in the mount on my vehicle dash.

      Seems to work perfectly fine to me but maybe it’s a quality issues with the brand of phones. Mine is a OnePlus and it’s almost 4 years old now, still works fine and never had any issues.
