Flaky fingerprint sensor...
Google needs to STOP trying to be the Apple of Android's and stick with software!
NINE versions of their phone and BILLIONS of dollars to get it right and....nothing more to say. LOL

I'm not buying the flaky fingerprint in this article. I most certainly didn't have one with the current Pixel phone and I've already seen videos with improved scanning by some folks. I'm sure some people will still complain. Everybody's hands are not the same but they're definitely not as bad as everybody makes them out to be imo

Fingerprint scanner now ultrasonic like current Samsung Google going in the right direction, I watched Apple and Samsung improved over each generation and they both had jump on Googles Pixel series so as long Google keeps improving it's a good thing.

I don't buy the fingerprint issues portion of this article. I've seen some high profile reviewers say it's much better version than older models.

Unfortunately, you can't turn on the display with fingerprint sensor like on all Samsung phones. Screen is OFF, you touch the sensor and phone turns on, doesnt work on Pixel

I finally saw the new Pixel lineup at BB and didn't realize how tiny the Pixel 9 was compared to my Pixel 8 Pro. I was tempted to do an upgrade but can't justify the price of the Pro XL just to get an equal sized phone.

Nor am I. That sounds much more like the rhetoric from the prior models. The new ultrasonic works great.
