Even if Google are bad at it, secure Facial Recognition using more than just one (or two extremely close) camera is the way to go for Android smartphones, IR (and if they could bring UV too as UV also reveal some unique details), camera (if possible two for a dual 3D check) and dot projectors is what we need, sadly the notch and punch hole make it impossible...
But removing the fingerprint scanner is STUPID, mainly with the upcoming Snapdragon 865 which will allow dual finger authentication, this is a really bad trend to launch...I hope most will keep underdisplay fingerprint scanner and give use a large area of scanning rather than stupidly remove it !

    Expected watching their history in software and hardware fails. Another day another bug. With them you not only buy an overpriced hardware plus you also need to have luck to get an usable phone and not a faulty one.

Its a fantastic phone and really great experience. Compact, lasting stylish and smooth as butter.tI love having finger print sensor. The pixel 4 looks stunning!! In real life though.

        This is not really an issue, users just need to rely on the fingerprint scanner until the bug is fixed. Jeez people are overreacting to such a small thing, aren't..


        OH WAIT.

                Maybe it's for their own security.

                Google does know better. /s

                  It's a Pixel, what do you expect, everything that can malfunction will malfunction and more. You must either be an idiot or just enjoy being a beta tester. Soon, Google will probably discontinue the Pixel all of a sudden.
