I personally love the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the Nexus 6P. The back of the device for me seems to be the most ergonomic. For me the home button placement on the front of devices like the iPhone and Note 5 can be uncomfortable and hard to reach. These front facing fingerprint scanners do have one major advantage over the rear placement on the Nexus 6P. With a front facing fingerprint scanner it is easy to wake up and unlock a device that is laying on a flat surface like your desk. If only you could double tap to wake the Nexus 6P.
Thanks to some research by XDA member "Flar2" now you can double tap to wake the Nexus 6P as long as you are rooted. All you need to do is download the terminal emulator from the play store. Then you will need to type the command "
echo 1 > /sys/devices/soc.0/f9924000.i2c/i2c-2/2-0070/input/input0/wake_gesture" obviously remove the quotation marks. Once you have correctly applied the command you will be able to double tap your screen to wake it. You will still need to enter a pin to unlock it if you have the pin lock enabled, but this is better than having to pick up the phone just to check the time.
