    Same. It was in the perfect spot, and worked 100% of the time for me.

    The in-screen one on my Pixel 6 works maybe 50% of the time, and for whatever reason just hates my right thumb, the one it really needs to be able to read. Even with it saved 5 times.

      Pixel 6 Pro worked marvelous for me all the time. I have the 8 Pro now, and now the fingerprint reader is a real mess.

      But yeah, the reader on the back was perfect.

      I sort of had the opposite experience. My pixel 5’s fingerprint reader worked about 20% of the time. It was so bad. I’ve actually had a much better experience with the Pixel 7’s in-screen one. It’s probably 90% successful. Before my Pixel 5, I had a OnePlus 6, and that one was like 99% successful.

      I did prefer the location on the back, though.
