Pixel 8 (Pro): Big leap with fingerprint sensor

One of the biggest drawbacks of the Pixel phone should finally disappear. I hope that is indeed the case!

So far, Pixel smartphones have had a number of drawbacks around their screens, but the Pixel 8 generation should finally make some improvements. Google is said to be planning to be able to install significantly brighter screens, and this time the Pixel 8 will likely have a panel with 120 instead of 90 Hz. It sounds very good

But it was arguably not new in the fall 2023 models. Well-known “leakers” who at least want to be there are talking about an upgrade for the fingerprint sensor. In recent years, Google has opted for slower optical technology, while Samsung, for example, has opted for ultrasound.

Yes, I know, the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 7 (Pro) was already much faster. But it’s faster and you can expect more with devices starting at 649 euros. In any case Is it[say[বলাহয়Now from multiple sources that Google relies on fast ultrasonic technology for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Good news again! Especially since prices are supposed to go up.
