Google Pixel 9 to have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor

04 July 2024
It will be the same unit that's used by Samsung in its Galaxy S24 family.

      Very nice.

        Too bad of all security implementations that I have tried the one that i prefer is capacitive fingerprints (side or rear).

          Anonymous, 05 Jul 2024You clearly never use best optical fp sensor. My iqoo 12 is... moreUltrasonic are faster and resistant to water etc. Optical fp sensors are 2nd class behind ultrasonic. Thats why everyone wants ultrasonic sensors.

          "Which is better?
          While both fingerprint techniques have their upsides and downsides, it’s clear that overall, ultrasonic scanners are the superior tech."

            Don’t buy any pixel phones,there are lot of issues in every model like network,voice,heating,touch,freeze.Samsung is best and will remain best forever after Nokia .

                Samsung doesn't even use the best ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. I have an S23U and if I didn't know any better I'd assume this phone had an optical sensor because it performs like an optical sensor. Samsung uses a pretty small ultrasonic sensor while the companies that do use ultrasonic sensors use the Qualcomm 3D Max which is considerably better than the ultrasonic sensor Samsung puts in their phones.

And of course, ultrasonic fp is picky on tempered glass screen protector. Try harder next time.

                          I feel like most high-end smartphones SHOULD be using ultrasonic tech by now. It's sad that only few adopt it.

                          Also, when will Apple be less stubborn and just add an UDFP scanner on their iPhones already. Android phones have inherited many hardware elements from iPhones, the fact that Apple cannot humble down and do the same is just absurd.

                            CamoGeko-XDA, 05 Jul 2024Bad news, I have an S24+ and the scanner is really annoying... morei bet 100% those who downvoted your comm never used a fingerprint scanner from another phone than samsung or face unlock for the matter to realize how bad it works on a samsung(Especially face unlock)
                            yes, samsung is a mess with dry and wet finger and their algorithm is too basic, they just register the fingeprint once and be done with it that's why on many forums you see people recommending to register the same fingerprint multiple times, while other brands like vivo or huwaei actively learn your fingeprint all the time, I know this because I registered only the tip of the fingeprint and 1 week later it worked with the entire fingeprint, pretty sure apple is doing the same with face id to adjust to new looks and stuff, just samsung lags on this

                                    Good decision; the Samsung ultrasonic sensor is the best in terms of accuracy and speed, and far superior to Pixel's optical sensor.
