Ok people, let put it all out there. Right
here, right now. I know you’re probably
an advocate for one or the other, so this is
your moment. This is what I’ve been
training you for all this time. This could
potentially be the most polarizing topic
in Weekend Debate history so you are
going to have to defend yourselves. We
need to decide, once and for all, which is
better – fingerprint sensor on the front, or
fingerprint sensor on the back?
I mean, where do we even start with this?
At the beginning of course. This all
started with the fingerprint sensor being
on the front of the phone. Apple’s TouchID
was arguably the point at which
fingerprint sensors became a thing. Yes, I
know that others did it first, but come
on. Apple put fingerprint sensors on the
map, and they started on the front of the
device. This made sense in a lot of
different ways.
You’re holding it…right
Most people hold their phone supported
on the bottom of the phone. This
necessarily means that their fingers are
there as well. This puts the thumb right
in the spotlight for some quick access to
the phone. You’re touching the button
with your thumb anyway to turn on the
phone, so while you’re there, you can
unlock it as well. Apple trained us for
years how to turn on a phone, so that’s
where fingerprint sensors started. It was
all part of the societally ingrained action
required to start using a phone.
Plus, when a phone is lying on its back
on a table – as one might do when using
a phone with occupied hands, the
fingerprint sensor is still accessible in the
natural viewing position of the phone.
Fingerprint sensors on the back require
you to pick up and handle the phone in
order to unlock via the fingerprint sensor.
Putting it on the front allow you to
simply lay a finger down and have
access to all of your contents.
And yet…
But then, phones started getting thinner
and the fronts started getting smaller,
requiring a migration to the back of the
phone for some OEMs. My current daily
driver, the Honor 8 follows this pattern.
Similar to our argument for the sensor on
the front, many people support their
phones with fingers on the back. Since
their finger is going to be back there
anyway, why not put it to use? Muscle
memory will have you grabbing your
phone and unlocking it as you bring it
up to your face, allowing you to access
your phone even faster.
Plus, this allows you to have a much
more friendly screen to face ratio. The LG
G6 recently changed my opinion of bezels
on the front of a phone, and those chins –
a.k.a. wasted space on either saide of the
home button – had to go. By putting the
fingerprint sensor on the back of the
phone, you’re making a phone that is
more usable with more screen – the best
of both worlds. This isn’t possible if you
still need to have a circle or rounded
rectangle at the bottom of the phone. The
back is unused real estate that should be
tapped.
And yet again…
But let’s not forget about one more
location – the side of the phone. Sony
phones have been putting fingerprint
sensors on the side of the phone. Side
mounted don’t mar the face or the back
of a phone. Having the fingerprint sensor
on the side of the phone allows you to see
where the sensor is, while at the same
time keeping it out of the way. You don’t
have to compromise on screen space, nor
on feeling around the back of your phone
to find the elusive circle.
So, to be fair, I have a favorite. But this
isn’t about me. This is about you. Where
do you stand in this debate? Front, back,
or side? But on this one, you’re going to
need to be ready to defend your opinion.
Oddly enough, this is a polarizing
debate that gets strong supporters on
both side? Are you with the old school,
front mounters. Perhaps you are a
member of the new-school back mounters?
Are you one of those free thinkers that
wants to have your cake and eat it too?

If you are currently using Tecno Spark plus k9,
please share your experience with the device so
far, the performance, both the upside and
downside of it. |
It's funny I know some pple will say I'm taking nonsense but At times when I'm asleep and dreaming I usually know that I'm dreaming and it's not real, i can control myself in the dream and most times when the dream becomes boring i would start struggling to wake up Has any one ever experienced this?? |
missslimzy:tell me what's missing in the iPhone 8? |
Frenzy007:so because you are using infinix note 4 pro you think it is better than all the phones in the world abi Your battery might be better than Samsung but for performance, gaming, multitasking and even design(you should learn to know your senior.) |
Frenzy007:seriously?? The INFINIX NOTE 4 PRO has one if the most beautifull design and body compared any other like samsung note 8, LG v30 and other I thought you had a little bit of sense But now I know ur head is empty Have u seen the 3d curve of Samsungs phone screen anyway I don't blame you because ur still one tecno first device maybe the tecno n3 |
