Still disappointing that it isn't using a proper IR illuminator. Apple's Face ID is still better, and the DyNaMiC iSlAnD doesn't take up that much space. I've adjusted to having a fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro, but the thing is so much slower.

Keep in mind you don't have to have a slow fingerprint sensor, Google just managed to fuck that up

As a OnePlus 7 Pro user, it's so fast, My ideal phone would have a fingerprint reader on the on/off button, seems so logical to do so

The BEST place by far is on the back. With the Pixel 2, I could have the phone unlocked before I even take it out of my pocket because I could place my finger in the exact right spot.

It also served as a shortcut to pull down the notification shade.

Same as the s9+ and I loved it, I miss it so much
