If you don’t mind me asking, what made you make the switch and what notable differences did you notice?
The best reason to buy a Google Pixel phone is still to be able to install GrapheneOS on it to remove the back door control over your data that Google has on most other Android systems.
Well, if you don’t sleep you could work all of those 70 hours under 3 days
Change the small balloon for an “80” and the average will be correct.
At what point does it becomes cheaper to ship it to the buyer on a thumb drive?
Interpretation of religion is like an butthole. Everyone has one of their own, it’s not okay for you to go around and show it to people who didn’t ask for it, and if you make it your personality you are an asshole.
The issue was resolved in a software update. I recently got a Pixel 7 and didn’t even know about the existence of a fingerprint scanner issue until I came to this thread. It works perfectly fine now regardless of lighting conditions.
The fingerprint scanner issue has been resolved with an update. I recently bought a Pixel 7 and am surprised to hear about a fingerprint scanner issue. It is working just fine now regardless of lighting conditions.
Don’t hold back from getting a good deal on the Pixel 7 because of the fingerprint scanner issue. It has been resolved with a software update since then. I have a Pixel 7 and the fingerprint scanner works just fine regardless of lighting conditions.
I have a Pixel 7 and it works in the dark just fine. I feel like @techgearwhips might have gotten a defective phone.
Edit: After a quick search it appears that Google fixed it with a software update.
I have a Pixel 7 that runs GrapheneOS and don’t have any of the fingerprint scanner issues you described. I don’t even understand how using it in the dark could make a difference since a circular portion of the screen under your finger lights up at maximum brightness when it is scanning your fingerprint. The only issue that I have is that sometimes a piece of dead skin peels off of my thumb or I wore a glove in the heat making my skin a little pruney which makes the scanner unable to read my fingerprint right. But that was a problem with my old Moto phone as well.
Edit: After making some research it appears that Google fixed the fingerprint scanner issue with a software update.
Subscription-based hardware business models, or anything that is cloud-based have a strong tendency to do this. They sucker you into buying their hardware with rock bottom prices and reasonable subscription fees and slowly they increase the prices and put more and more features and functionalities behind increasing paywalls.
Never buy anything that you don’t fully own after paying for it.
