Neat. I've never had a problem with the fingerprint sensor on the 8 Pro but an upgrade is an upgrade

[@biensur19]

Finally an advantage for Google in their collaboration. I had the impression that Samsung appropriated all the pixel features

[@Pixlewatchtoo]

Google really should take more from Samsung imo

[@biensur19]

​@@Pixlewatchtoo TRUE. imagine Pixel Software in samsung hardware

[@rachitdang7453]

Circle to search was initially launched by Samsung, but later updated in Google devices as well. The G3 is a custom chip made through Exynos modem.

[@rachitdang7453]

​@@biensur19We are already seeing that though. But the processor needs better optimization which G4 (as Exynos 2400 is claimed to be as well optimised as SD 8 gen 3) would offer but I am happy with the performance so far on my pixel 8a device on G3

Circle To Search was a collaborative effort to start with

This is huge for the ones who got a Pixel 6 (me) that has the worst scanner 😅

[@Pixlewatchtoo]

Same here lol

[@mouhabuntu]

True story 😅

[@ihmuiN]

Same here. Also wondering about the heating issue.. I hope they have sorted that problem out

[@Pixlewatchtoo]

Probably not. It probably won't be until the G5.

[@ihmuiN]

@@Pixlewatchtoo now most of the reviews are sponsored, this means they will tell only what Google allows them to tell. In a few days, we will see negative reviews as well. But I hope they solve the heating issue as I love pixel usage.

[@ruben79nyc]

This is great to hear. If Google wasn't going to use this I would hope they would go with the fingerprint sensor like the Fold in the power button.

[@peterward8574]

I know ultrasound fingerprint scanners are better but they don't work well with glass screen protectors and surely most of us use them, so personally I am not a fan

[@73ND41]

I found the right tempered glass screen protector for my S24 Ultra.

[@shomari17]

I hope the finger print sensor allow you to press anywhere on the bottom half of the screen. That would be a game changer

[@wildjc1]

Took them years to implement this, their product team don't care about users

[@MamunHossen-io2zd]

what about the processor? Heating issues, network issues?

[@izrazulkefle1677]

But still with slow charging and overheating camera🤣🤣

[@taylornicty1170]

It's about time

[@MrVizziato23]

I truly want to believe this and hope that it's true but I don't want to get my hopes up!! Hopefully more proof of this being true will come out soon

[@Ryrynz2000]

You don't need for more proof. It's a given.

[@MrVizziato23]

@@Ryrynz2000 I hear you

[@buddhistelder4731]

Yeah, make sure more people can unlock your phone

This is very bad for people who use a tempered glass protector... (I have S23+ W/ tempered glass...and it simply is VERY BAD).

[@jimmcnevin9367]

No one cares. 🙄
