  My 5a sensor is fantastic (it is on the back). I’ll be sad when it’s time for this phone to go.

  Not my experience. They are usually instant, but you need a flagship device, of course. Otherwise it’s comparing apples and oranges.

    The $1000 price tag on the Pixel tells me it’s a flagship device and yet the scanner is still trash.

    But optical scanners just suck in general. I wish they’d bring back the rear sensor, it was so convenient both for unlocking and for having a shortcut to pulling down the notification shade.

  Behind-the-screen fingerprint scanners are an abomination.

  Always reminds me of 1984’s telescreens. We’re almost there.

  Mine works without issues since I removed the white circle and the unlocking animations.

  First gen in-screen scanners were absolute trash. Borderline unusable. But the tech has improved quite a lot since the first ones. The one in my galaxy tab s9’s screen is fast and accurate.
