The Google Pixel 9<\/a>, Pixel 9 Pro<\/a> and Pixel 9 Pro XL<\/a> were announced yesterday with a host of improvements over the 2023 generation, among which is a new, faster fingerprint reader that is built into the OLED display. Even though the optical fingerprint reader of the Pixel 8 series was better than what came before, it still wasn\u2019t as good as what other brands had.<\/p>\n For the 2024 generation, the optical reader is gone, replaced by a Qualcomm 3D Sonic Gen 2<\/a> (an ultrasonic reader). Google claims that it is 50% faster than the reader on the Pixel 8 phones, Qualcomm says that it is the \u201cworld\u2019s fastest ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor\u201d.<\/p>\n The reader should work reliably, even if your fingers are wet, and it has anti-spoofing technology that allows it to reject imposter photographs and fake molds of your finger. The sensor measures 8x8mm in size (0.3×0.3in).<\/p>\n Qualcomm partnered with @Google<\/a> to create another reason to love the Google Pixel 9: The Qualcomm 3D Sonic Gen 2 fingerprint sensor. https:\/\/t.co\/klFCFRTUab<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Qualcomm (@Qualcomm) August 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The fourth new phone from yesterday, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, has a side-mounted fingerprint reader, so it uses a traditional capacitive sensor.<\/p>\n The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL will be out next week, the Pixel 9 Pro will be out in early September. Here are pricing details<\/a> for the new series.<\/p>\n\n
