You can view the full list of carriers on Google’s website. The update will be available to you in November if your device is on any of the major wireless carriers in the US or Japan, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Google Fi.

It’s also worth noting that while the update is just 14.56MB, Google says it takes about 25 to 30 minutes to download and install depending on the number of apps you have, which my colleagues can also attest to. The November security update for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro is build number 'SD1A.210817.036,' which this most recent fingerprint update increments by one, to end up with build 'SD1A.210817.037. Google says that the update - which consists of two software builds: one for Verizon-specific devices (1) and one for international models (SD1A.210817.037) - has started rolling out today and will “continue over the next week.”

For now, the sensor seems to be just good enough. Credit available on online purchases of Mobile Phones and Accessories from 99. Then again, the issue may be related to the fact that Google decided to use an under-the-screen optical scanner instead of an ultrasonic one - and in that case, Pixel 6 owners may be stuck with the issue. It’s unclear whether the update to the fingerprint scanner will be the last of its kind or if Google has another one planned in the future. The Google Pixel 5 may not be the high-end Pixel we were expecting, but its a pretty compelling mid-range option. Reactions from users on Reddit offer the same kind of varied results while some say the update fixed the problem, others say the difference is there, but only slightly. Pixel 6 Pro (512GB): 1,099 / AU 1,599 Unlike most of its competitors, Google does not do such a great job of making Pixel phones available all around the world. It seems like it offers some improvement, but it still doesn’t put it on par with fingerprint scanners from other companies. Overall, the results of the Pixel 6 update are a mixed bag. But even best case, it’s still slower than an S20. It’s certainly not so much faster (or more accurate?).

I think the fingerprint reader does work better - I never had trouble with the left thumb, but the right thumb always took two or three tries, and now it seems to work pretty quickly. I haven’t noticed a difference in the scanning, but it seems like it’s making me use my fingerprint less to unlock the phone.

To see if the update actually made a difference, I asked some of my colleagues at The Verge about their experiences with the fingerprint scanner after downloading the Pixel 6 update. But now that Google has rolled out an update, the issue might be software-related after all. Another plus feature is the fingerprint sensor on the power button for lock and unlock.
