That's why I'm waiting for manufacturers to build the fingerprint scanner within the screen itself. It's going to solve this issue no problem and save space in the process.

Well...andriod oem should just reduce top & bottom bezel and keep scanner on the back. I'd prefer short phone over a physical button on front.

Other option is to embed scanner in screen (already said in 1st comment)...qualcomm already has technology.

"For example, it could be a physical home key, like the ones on the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy devices, or, if it has to be a capacitive sensor, it should always wake the device whenever it detects a touch – like the scanners on Huawei's handsets or the OnePlus"

You are wrong and biased towards Apple and Samsung... Why are you hating Sony so much you idiots??? Their fingerprint is best positioned where it is!

Did you even read the article? The author clearly says he preferred the finger print scanner in the front which apple and Samsung has. He also gave reasons why he didn't like the finger print scanner located at the back or the side. It's got nothing to do with hating Sony or any other brands. You need to learn how to read.

I still prefer backside FPscanner, since I'm phablet user, and whenever I use front scanner, I need to strecth my thumb to akward angle, lol
and usually I check notification from watch..
(but right now I'm still stuck with front FPscanner :P planning to buy LG G5 if it good enough, or maybe will stuck with front FPscanner again on note6)

Why do I need a fingerprint scanner? I have a 10 digit pin and smartlock set up to my home and moto 360. No desire to pay with NFC either.

I hate the idea of a fingeprint on the display itself. I mean the fingerprints actually look nice on the phone and it contributes to the design, plus if it were to go away it would give the impression that your phone has less hardware than what you paid for. In other words, the screen method would feel cheaper despite the fact that it has its benefits!
