Notification on the X are much better than the fingerprint reader. I dont remember being able to tap on a notification and have the phone bring me straight to it. I would have to unlock my phone then go find that notification manually instead of just having the phone read my face, tap the notification and it unlocks my phone and takes me straight to it. I didn't notice this right away I thought you had to force touch notifications but all you have to do is tap and no need to slide up to open the phone.
