Google Pixel 6 fingerprint unlock is a feature, not a bug

Google Pixel 6 fingerprint unlock is a feature, not a bug

The Pixel 6 series of Google phones have been released for a couple of weeks now, though one of the numerous criticisms the phone has faced is the in-display fingerprint sensor is actually unreliable.

The users complained that the phone is slower to unlock than competing phones and it often required double-tapping your finger on the screen to access the display.

Google in response to the criticisms linking to fingerprint authentication.

The Pixel 6 fingerprint sensor makes use of enhanced safety algorithms. In some situations, these added protections can take longer to confirm or require extra direct contact with the sensor.

Some of the reviewers have stated this statement by Google as an attention-grabbing tactic for a shaky in-display fingerprint sensor.

Nonetheless, it is still early to say that whether or not Google’s reply on the issue has to do with safety compared to other smartphones or is it simply a cover-up by the organization to control ratings.

Google still has to wrestle with the Pixel 6 fingerprint display with a software replacement. Between this, the phone unsystematically calling contacts, and slight screen flickering, surely Google has a lot to work on.
