What do you mean? only the ones in the screen or the very first ones from years ago tend to fail. Otherwise, fingerprint scanners on Android work like a charm.
I honestly don't understand the migration to in screen readers. Yes, it's cool that OLED allows passthrough, but an indent at the back makes getting a consistently centered finger easier. Barring that, I like how Razer put theirs in the power button
You are right. The ones in the screen just don’t work well enough. Why after the pixel 4 they abandoned face recognition is beyond me.
Not sure what you mean, I'm typing this from my Pixel 7a which I unlocked with my face.
Allegedly the half assed way it was implemented was a battery destroyer and had heat issues. The 6Pro's had it. If you watch pre release viseos of them, it was still in there, but got pulled right at release.
