Pixel 9 pro struggles with my finger scan if it's too dry. I guess washing hands removes the body naturally produced oil and that makes it harder to scan.

I have the P9p and have more issues with the (ultra sonic) sensor than I did with the (optical sensor) on the previous P8p.

I even compared both in hand before trading in the older phone and the P8p scanning was much better.

Though I have to mention; to improve the optical sensor reading I had to do 4 fingerprints with different brightness for each scan, and that what helped a lot.

Too bad I can't do the same with the Ultrasonic sensor since it doesn't care about the brightness on the screen.

I had the P8P and i'm getting the smaller P9P. see my previous comment for more details but basically I went with the Bestbuy pre order because they were giving away $200 giftcard in top of the $625 trade in credit.

Me too! I initially I wanted to wait for the (Pixel X?) for the TSMC based processor.

but since the Pixel 9 brought QOL improvements like the Ultra sonic finger print, improved Telephoto Autofocus and smaller Pixel Pro that can be used in one hand. Top that with $625 credit and $200 BB giftcard. I couldn't hold anymore and gave in :)

No wonder they found fecal bacteria on shopping carts handles.

I switched, it's definitely more complicated but it got much more options. Blokada has much more simple UI.

So can Cassia Wine play any DX9 game since you mentioned GTA IV or there are other limitations?

I think it made little difference for me in terms of battery drain

If you have a Pixel 6/7 or any phone that uses Exynos modem in general, it will make a noticeable difference in battery life. Simply because the modems are not as as efficient as the Qualcomm modems.

Source: I found the tip under r/GooglePixel and I noticed the battery life difference on my P7pro

Amazing work!

I'm not advocating for Chinese phones in particular, but there are no other alternatives as far as I know. Samsung & Google seems to be stagnating and the only valid alternative is just Apple for us.
