Android 13 'fixes' Google Pixel 6 fingerprint sensor problems

Unlock your Google Pixel 6 without problems

It has been a report from the colleagues of Phone Arena that has revealed that the beta version 4.1 of the new Android update substantially improves the fingerprint reader of the Google Pixel 6, as well as that of the Pro model.

There are not a few times that the great G has tried to solve the error through patches, but they have never completely fixed it. While it is true that the July security update managed to improve its performance significantly, it never achieved its full potential.

The most recent Android 13 beta program seems to have finally put everything in its place. In fact, fellow Phone Arena’s Alan Friedman has confirmed that he has noticed a big difference with the Google Pixel 6’s fingerprint scanner compared to previous versions. In addition, the compact model known as Google Pixel 6a has also been affected by this update , solving one of the most serious bugs we have seen, because anyone could unlock the phone without registering their fingerprint.

Other interesting improvements

The comments Friedman has mentioned also include an improvement in battery life , a component that has seen positive changes with the Android 13 beta. However, he does not recommend installing the test until it is a stable patch.

Also, a Reddit user has mentioned that performance has improved, with the Google Pixel 6 and its siblings being faster . Of course, there is no need to rush, since until the release of the stable version everything can change.

At the moment, all three models of the current generation are moving in the right direction, fixing one of the most criticized aspects of the devices. This means that soon all users will be able to use the fingerprint sensor without any inconvenience and enjoy greater security against theft. A very important facet in the highly digitized world in which we live.
