It is such a great phone, but the fingerprint scanner suuuucks...
The P5 fingerprint? I love it! I'm actually scared of trying the new ones under the screen. (Everything they put under the screen on the Pixel 5 is a downgrade versus the previous pixels for me).
For me, it works terribly. Like 1 in 2 times, it just doesn't work at all. My girlfriend's Pixel 6 and its under-screen FP is much more reliable.
Try this tip: grab a scotch tape, cut it until it is more or less like a circle and paste it over the (clean) sensor.
I did this like 2 years ago and improved the feedback. It's still going strong, the scotch tape never came out. I think it never fails for me.
