I think the way the Pixel does it is strictly better across the board. The fingerprint sensor doesn't sacrifice screen space, and the platform offers face unlock as well.

I only wish Pixel retained the back fingerprint sensor. It was sooooo much better than even the current under-the-screen sensor.

Agreed - the rear fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 5 was far better than the blinding on-screen sensor on my new Pixel 9a.
