It separates us a little over a month after the official launch of the Pixel 9, and the future generation of Google smartphones continues to be the subject of rumors and leaks at a breakneck pace. This tells us two things, the first is that Google should definitely work to improve the security of its internal information, although this is also true for many other technological technologies, and that as time goes on, interest in the Pixel is growing among the general public.

As an example of this, just this week we learned about the AI-based news that they will soon receive, which will surely be introduced along with the new generation, we saw an undoubtedly striking pink Pixel (and I admit that the more I see it, the more accurate it becomes it seems) and if we cheat and add last Sunday, also about the news that is about to come to the Circle to find. All this within five days.

Well, if that didn’t seem enough, the good news is that we have a new leak because, as we read in Android Authority, Google opted for an ultrasonic fingerprint reader for the Pixel 9, which will undoubtedly translate into a big improvement when using this secure authentication method on Google smartphones. This change will mean goodbye to the optical scanners used from the Pixel 6 generation to the current Pixel 8.

Both types of readers are located under the screen, but in comparison Ultrasonic ones are much faster and, in addition, they don’t need light like optical ones. read. And this will be quite familiar to Pixel smartphone users, when you want to unlock your phone with your fingerprint in a dark environment, sometimes the screen emits a flash of light that can be a bit annoying. And even using this method, sometimes the reading is not satisfactory and you have to resort to PIN or gesture unlocking.

According to a source cited in the said article, the Pixel 9 (with the exception of the foldable one, which will keep the fingerprint sensor on the power button), Google opted for the Sonic Gen 2 (QFS4008) 3D sensor manufactured by Qualcommand which is the same as the one used by Samsung in the Galaxy S24 family, so we find another evolution in which Google is getting closer and closer to the big flagships in this market (Galaxy S and iPhone), in another sample that their plans remain healthy ambitious .
