The same optical fingerprint reader it seems? That's literally the only improvement I wanted, so if it has an optical fingerprint reader that's a dealbreaker for me.

    Yeah, I forgot to mention I have the 7 and the fingerprint reader is the only part of this phone that I genuinely hate.

    Worse than the suboptimal battery life?

    You get secure face unlock now as an alternative if the fingerprint sensor isn't cutting it.

    Secure face unlock as in "grapheneos will implement face unlock"-secure?

    It seems like the face unlock is a lot better now. Since it's level 3. That means you can use Google pay and such without the fingerprint sensor.

    Does it work well in the dark? If so it might not be so bad.

    The fingerprint reader was shit until 3 months or so ago. On p6 and p7 it's alright imo. It could be better if there was a dedicated fingerprint reader, e.g. at the side of the phone with a punch hole such that you could grab your phone out of your pocket and it would've read your fingerprint already.

    7 Pro user and I have owned a handful of different pixels.

    I haven't really had any issues with the fingerprint reader. I haven't tried other phones to see if theirs are better or worse.

    Probably partially my fault since I fat finger it, but it blinds me all of the time. On top of that, it's very inaccurate when compared to my partner's phone which has an ultrasonic one.
