why the fingerprint scanner is sometimes slow
Users of the Google Pixel 6 phones note that the fingerprint scanner is slow at times. Google now declares that the strict security has everything to do with it. There is also a possible solution that we are discussing.
Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner
With the Google Pixel 6, the brand opted for a fingerprint scanner under the screen, instead of a sensor on the back as with the Pixel 5. That is normally a logical decision for phones in the premium price segment, only users notice that the scanner responds slowly at times.
An Twitter user is suing the issue and a Google support representative gives us an explanation for the scanner’s erratic performance for the first time. “Sorry for the difficulties. The Pixel 6’s fingerprint scanner uses custom security algorithms. In certain circumstances, that extra security can lead to authentication taking longer, or requiring more direct contact with the sensor,” he said. the employee.
He does not explain what exactly that extra security entails, and it is also not clear whether Google is working on a solution to the problem at all. He does refer to a support page explaining that the scanner can have problems in certain circumstances: when you unlock your phone in bright and direct sunlight, if you use an unofficial screen protector or if your screen is dirty.
You can do this
Still, XDA Developers knows that there is a setting on the Pixel 6 that allows users to make the scanner work better. It concerns the ‘Increase tap sensitivity’ function that is normally intended for those who use a screen protector on the phone. With this function, the screen is more responsive, but it also makes the fingerprint scanner a bit more eager at the same time. You can find this conscious setting via the following steps: Institutions > Screen > Increase tap sensitivity.
Last week it was announced that the Pixel 6 Pro has the best camera of the moment according to the testers from DxOMark. In this article we have listed all the differences between the two flagships.
