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.

Never worked out quite as well for me. There's no tactile feel, which is more important than people give credit for, especially when grabbing something without looking.

Plus, as others are pointing out, there's additional benefits
