Xiaomi Mi Max

[amazingone]

I find the design better than redmi note 3 - Mi Max is thinner (7.5mm vs 8.65mm) and the speaker is now at the bottom instead of the back.

But for such a big phone, it would be good if the fingerprint sensor is in the front rather than at the back

Yeah, design overall is better on Mi Max, with a similar back design as Mi Note, albeit with a metal body instead.

For this fingerprint sensor placement thing, it has been debated for a long period of time whether a front one or back one is a better solution.
Well, front sensor is of course the best solution as you can wake and unlock the phone with just a press, but with such a large-sized phone it has shown that back sensor is more sensible as it's a strain to stretch your finger to the front keys while the back solution is more natural when you hold the phone.

Front facing fingerprint sensor is always better (no doubt about it) because you dont need to lift the phone to reach the back of the fingerprint sensor.

Agree. With the launch of Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, dont understand why this is missing

rear facing is always better surely no doubt about it because everytime you use your phone, you lift it up.
also you won't need 2 hands to unlock your phone, just 1
so rear facing is surely and always better

The best fingerprint sensor I ever feel is from Xperia z5 series. Is good to have but not essential for me. Whatever features I seen on MI max. I am truly impressed by the pricing and willing to pay for it. Doesn't matter about NFC or fingerprint sensor.

You sure z5 has best fingerprint sensor.?
