Martin, a tech journalist at PhoneArena, brings a unique blend of humor and insight to his work. His fascination with smartphones began with a Galaxy Young and evolved through a series of trades and upgrades, making him a self-proclaimed smartphone nerd.
simply stopped working a few months after he bought the phone, and it wasn’t fixed until the phone received a software update, which Google didn’t send very quickly.users used to be able to open their phone with any fingerprint - not just the one they registered, which meant other people could open your phone. In a nutshell, theseries was an improvement, since at least the security concerns were solved. However, Google ’s optical fingerprint scanners remained super slow.
Beyond speed, the sensor excels in adverse conditions, accurately reading wet fingers, and the “anti-spoofing measures” should protect you against unauthorized access . In practice, and judging by the videos I came across, it seems like the fingerprint scanner in the Pixel 9 is now the fastest one in the world - even faster than the one in the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
On a personal note, after years of swearing by Touch ID, I came around, and I prefer using Face ID on my. However, Face ID isn’t always convenient - like when my phone is on the table or when I’m in bed, or just want to open it without looking. Unlocking your phone is something you do every day, so I say it’s time we replaced all optical fingerprint scanners with ultrasonic ones. Well, at least the ones in premium Android phones. Let’s be honest - Apple is never bringing back Touch ID.
