Nexus 6P Fingerprint Scanner: The Video Review and 4 Step How to Setup

We have already talked about the Nexus 6P waterproof case, then now we will talk about the Nexus 6P fingerprint scanner. Well, let’s go ahead talk this topic. Google Nexus 6P comes with various advantages and disadvantages. Despite all the developers and smartphone makers have been trying to make improvements and try to add new features, but it will always appear the deficiencies reported by users. This is reasonable because it is very difficult to work, to make the perfect smartphone products for many users?. But this time, we will only discuss one new feature, the fingerprint scanner.

Google’s Nexus Imprint Sensor was introduced in the 6P. It’s works a lot like the others biometric fingerprint sensors out there like the Touch ID home button technology from Apple. But, there are two key differences there, registering a new fingerprint on the Nexus 6P takes no longer than eight seconds. While the Apple and Samsung’s require a longer process to setup.

The position of fingerprint sensors in Nexus 6P is at the back of the phone. It has a static position and do not like a button that you can press. Google says that this place as a natural location to place your fingers. You may need to learn to bend your fingers at the back side. Because, usually your finger along the frame. You must create a new habit finger position to use this feature. However, if you can not adapt to this new habit, you can use the old mode locking.

According to Kennex from droid- life, he wrote an opinion that attempted to convince the world that fingerprint scanners were the ideal implementation, not like the home button locations that Samsung and Apple has. He has attached a video of the Nexus 5X fingerprint scanner in action. He wants to proof that this is the best way to do fingerprints. You may say it was weird, why the video only show the Nexus 5X? According to him (Kennex), the Nexus 6P has a good fingerprint performance too. Thus, in this video, you will not only see a couple of dozens unlocks without a single reader error on the Nexus 5X. but I also walk through the fingerprint setup process. By the Google’s readers, you only need to tap six times, and it will learn your finger perfectly.
