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.

Sounds like the OP is suffering from "everyone else's experiences match my own, so they should do what I say"
I have a 6P and I happen to think the rear placement is quite convenient. Yes, it doesn't work on a desk, but if I get a call, I pick up the phone. I rarely, if ever, use the phone while it is laying down.

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.

"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!

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.

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!
