    My fingerprint scanner was on the back, but now it’s on the front, and can’t identify me as regularly as it did before.

    I’ve gotten used to the new location, but I can’t forgive making it less accurate than it used to be.

      My god, I upgraded from an S9 to an S22 and seeing the fingerprint scanner on the front baffled me. With a screen protector on I unlock it on the first try maybe 25% of the time

        There’s a setting you can turn on that increases the sensitivity, which should fix the issue. It works perfectly fine for me with a screen protector

      I assume that it must be cheaper or something. I really preferred having it on the back too; was more ergonomic.

      ponders

      I guess that the front is maybe easier to use a thumbprint or something on.

      That being said, regarding accuracy, it might also have a lower false-positive rate, which is maybe something that you’d want.
