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.
7 here, and yeah it sucks, even when using special fingerprint-ready screen protectors.
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?
With GrapheneOS I'm kinda surprised how well it performs, TBH.
On my Pixel 4a it performs worse with GrapheneOS and Sandboxed Google Play Services
You get secure face unlock now as an alternative if the fingerprint sensor isn't cutting it.
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.
