25 August 2021
The rear-mounted reader of the Pixel 5 is a thing of the past. Literally.

        How is this different from under display fingerprint scanners?

          Such an unnecessary change. "I-i-it works ju-just like a-any other fp scanner!! A-and it's s-safer, you guys!!!". No and no. Just an excuse to ask for 50€ more, slower, no more reliable than rear fp scan and less convenient.

But that ugly camera bump though.. Anyway, at least it is not a sensor on the side of the phone which would suck for sure. Rear is nice but fron sensor does the trick too as long as it is responsive.

              They already compete with capacitive ones in terms of reliability and security, and they have a lot of room for improvement.
              They can not only be implemented to a large surface on the display (including fullscreen), but also on the side and the rear too!

                  I wish the regular model had a telephoto camera. I would much rather have a telephoto lens than an ultrawide lens. The standard camera lens on most phones these days is already pretty wide.

                                Hopefully the sensor is ultrasonic like in the galaxy, and not optical like in Chinese devices, that when you unlock the phone in the dark, the light emitted by the sensor almost blinds you to see your fingerprint. The latter does not happen in the ultra sonic sensor

                                  What a great logic.

                                    If it isn't an ultrasonic one with a good software (which include material density reading, and automatic rejection of protection, water, oil, etc), it isn't worth it nor interesting at all.

It's literally the most exciting Pixel phone to date, so exciting I'm interested in it and I despise Google. It'll finally be a proper flagship, it'll have a camera bump that will prevent phone from rocking about like absolute lunatic and it'll be first Android phone to date with 5 years of software support.
