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

Have you tried phones with it on the power button? That was the best for me by far.

Yeah it's great! I want to put off the screen and instantly after going off, it reads my finger and goes on again!

Who came up with that idea?

With many phones these days you can suspend by just double-tapping the screen, or the status bar. Sometimes this works for resume too, other phones require a physical button press.
