    The Pixel fingerprint scanner is so bad, you could end up locking it entirely by accident.

    Behind-the-screen fingerprint scanners are an abomination.

      Behind-the-screen fingerprint scanners are an abomination.

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

      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.

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