One of the first questions people asked when that pink Pixel 9 unit made its way online had to do with the fingerprint sensor. Has Google switched to an ultrasonic reader, or is it sticking with the same optical fingerprint sensors that have been driving many Pixel users nuts for a while now? The person who leaked photos and images of the device didn't immediately answer, promising to offer additional details in the coming days.
Since then, Google apparently bricked the Pixel 9, locking down any secrets that the software might be hiding. However, the leaker said on X they could "99%" confirm that the Pixel 9 phones would get the upgrade fans have been asking for. He was replying to questions about a report that said the Pixel 9 will feature ultrasonic sensors instead of the old optical ones.
That's a great upgrade that many Pixel users should appreciate. Optical sensors haven't been that fast or reliable in previous Pixel generations. This year, those issues will hopefully be things of the past.
