    Still disappointing that it isn’t using a proper IR illuminator. Apple’s Face ID is still better, and the DyNaMiC iSlAnD doesn’t take up that much space. I’ve adjusted to having a fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 Pro, but the thing is so much slower.

      Keep in mind you don’t have to have a slow fingerprint sensor, Google just managed to fuck that up

        Yeah, I’ve heard this one is particularly bad. It’s broadly fine but it is definitely slower than the one in my old OnePlus 7 Pro.

        I paid $250 for the phone refurbished so I have a hard time complaining too much.

        As a OnePlus 7 Pro user, it’s so fast, My ideal phone would have a fingerprint reader on the on/off button, seems so logical to do so

          The BEST place by far is on the back. With the Pixel 2, I could have the phone unlocked before I even take it out of my pocket because I could place my finger in the exact right spot.

          It also served as a shortcut to pull down the notification shade.

      Pixel 4 was, and it was better than Apple’s implementation.

      It’s crazy that Google did it once and beat Apple. Then they dropped it.
