With the latest intelligence pointing to a possible fingerprint reader under display for an upcoming Google Pixel device, we have a question for you all: what is the best location for a fingerprint reader? Is it the back of the phone, as in the Pixel 5? An optical or ultrasonic reader on the screen, as in Samsung Galaxy and OnePlus phones? Or what about the phone side, as in Sony devices?
Technically, there are no wrong answers here, it is a matter of personal preference. However, because this is mine posting, yes, there are wrong answers. Although ultrasonic scanners are far superior in my experience to optical sensors, I will still accept the Pixel 5 posterior fingerprint reader configuration any day of the week on a reader under the display. There is something about the speed and consistency of rear-mounted readers that is a much better experience than other options. That’s just my opinion, but I used a lot of phones, so I feel comfortable starting a fight about it.
Let’s get this sorted out once and for all, guys.
