For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

My problem with the fingerprint reader in the display is that it just doesn't work well. I'm on a pixel 7 pro, and more often than not it will try and fail a few times, then require a pin unlock. My pixel 5 with the fingerprint reader on the back was nearly flawless.

The one in my Galaxy S22 works great. There is a trick though to make it work even better: Register the same finger twice (and really get all angles). That usually makes the unlock much more reliable.

Oh cool, thanks for the tip. I'll give that a shot!

I had a honor 7 and a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and the sensor was a thousand times faster and better than the one on my pixel 6.

My Pixel 7 fingerprint reader was unusably bad on Android 13 but now works well on Android 14.

I jumped to the Pixel 6a to the Pixel 8, and the in display fingerprint scanner got much better
