The Google Pixel 7 Pro uses an in-screen fingerprint sensor. This means the sensor is integrated directly into the display, and it works using optical technology to scan your fingerprint. When you place your finger on the screen, the phone recognizes your fingerprint and unlocks the device.
Key aspects of the Pixel 7 Pro fingerprint sensor:
Optical sensor: It uses optical technology that employs light to scan the contours and ridges of your fingerprint.
Speed: Although the fingerprint recognition speed is not the fastest on the market, it is still fast enough to quickly unlock the device.
Accuracy: Due to the optical sensor, it may require a few attempts, especially if the finger is slightly dirty or not perfectly placed on the screen.
Security: Since it is an in-screen sensor, it provides an additional layer of security as there is no external sensor that could easily be bypassed.
Performance conditions: The fingerprint sensor works better with dry fingers, and with wet fingers, there might be some errors or slower recognition.
The Google Pixel 7 Pro also supports facial recognition technology as an alternative to the fingerprint sensor, but this is not always considered as secure as the fingerprint sensor.
