I can unlock the Z5 on a table just fine with my left thumb or right pointer finger, PA. What the hell are you talking about?

Side finger print scanner makes a lot of sense rather than the front or back.. Sony's implementation is far the best. We all know that this article is just to highlight Sammy and Fruity. Typical *A *hi*.

Note 5 owner here: the best, and natural, place for the senzor will be on the back.

Seriusly now: what HTC and Huawei did is the best approach. The reasons is the article are highly debatable...

Not so sure about Sony, I have not got the chance to hold one yet, not very popular phones in my area.

the front is the best because you don't have to pick it up or hold it weirdly if you want to quickly unlock it from lying down on a table, I have the S6, its a great spot, I have my thumbs when I'm holding it and my index fingers for when it's lying on the table

He do say everyone has preferences but he also strongly suggest is view is the best.
Which is why you read more of an article than just the title, to find out what the point being made is. If you only read the title to make a judgment, that's really more on you than the author.

True side works great with index finger when on a table and it doesn't matter which way its placed. The only problem with the Sony sensor is if your fingers are wet, but this might be a issue with all phones.
