Put em on the baaaaaaaack!!

The under screen ones suck in comparison so much ugh

Seriously. I'm tired of blinding myself at night when trying to sleepily check my phone. The sensor on the back of my old pixel could also be used to pull down the notification shade which I can't easily reach with one hand, now, since the screen is so large.

Ultrasonic under screen readers dont need to light up that spot to work

Nope! The 9 is the first pixel that uses Ultrasonic. Its a massive upgrade from the optical scanner in the 7. Legitimately never misses
