Pixel 5 has a back fingerprint reader. Think it's the last Pixel with it.

    I miss that.

    My 5 died randomly one day. The 9 under screen sensor works nice, heard the 6-8? light sensors were bad.

    What's wrong with the light sensor?

    It's the under-screen fingerprint sensor. It's kind of flaky, and it shines the sensor area of the screen at what's gotta be greater than normal max screen brightness. It's blinding at night.

    It's also much less reliable than the back reader in my old pixel 2, though it's gotten better with software updates. It was barely functional when the 6 first came out.
