Most high-end Android phones have opted to go with the in-display fingerprint sensor in order to provide a biometrically-secure method of unlocking a smartphone in a discrete way. Rick Osterloh, the Senior Vice President of Devices and Services at Google, confirmed during Google I/O 2022 that the Pixel 6a will indeed have a different in-display fingerprint sensor than what was used in the 6 and 6 Pro, according to Android Central. It seems Google may have had enough of the fingerprint sensor woes in the 6 and 6 Pro itself.
While the patches and updates seemed to fix the issues for some, others report that the issues persist and have ditched the Pixel for another phone altogether. As users complained of the sensor being hit or miss, Google began sending out updates to try and fix the issues. Pixel fans were excited for the launch of the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro late last year, but that enthusiasm was somewhat dampened for many who ran into issues with the fingerprint sensor on both of the smartphones. While real-world, independent tests haven't been performed on the Pixel 6a's fingerprint sensor just yet, the hope is that it will perform more accurately than its predecessor.
Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 6a, which reportedly features a new, better fingerprint sensor.
