They mention the Pixel and I just got to say, I wish someone would bring back the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone. That was seriously the best solution. Fastest way to unlock your phone, because no matter how slow the fingerprint reader is you activate it while pulling it out of your pocket. I honestly don't get why people like Face ID more (what I currently use). Someone, please bring this back

You can also do this with under-screen fingerprint readers which are excellent these days.

Usually you can't place your finger in the just the rigbt spot when blindly frabbing the phone from your pocket.

I loved the rear fingerprint reader on my old Nexus 5X.
