Well, apparently on this one the fingerprint sensor is also fast with the caveat that it unlocks the phone for everyone when a screen protector is applied.

That's not a caveat. That's a security hole. Anyone could put a piece of plastic between them and the scanner, and if that's all it takes, it was never secure in the first place.

thats a huge caveat. I think the samsung is the fastest one among all the underscreen fingerprint sensor. But compared to not-underscreen sensor? I agree with above comment. Aside from looking sleek, the underscreen fingerprint sensor has been really underwhelming compared to regular fingerprint one
