So many reports about how fast hauwei's fingerprint sensor is, but never a mention if the 5X has the same one or a different one that LG came up with.
They are the same. Turn the phone on and unlock it within 600 milliseconds
I wouldn't be surprised if both of them are using Qualcomm's SnapID https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapd...ingerprint-authentication-snapdragon-sense-id
It's based on a proven biometric scanning technology that does 3d scanning using an ultrasonic scanner.

Hello I would like to share something I found out about the fingerprint scanner, that worked for me and hopefully for you as well.
When I received my Elephone P8000 I was disappointed that the fingerprint scanner didn't work as well as I hoped (about 50% success rate).
First I thought it was the Phone, but actually it was my own fault. and now it works 99% of the time
The wrong way: when adding a new fingerprint, I placed my finger at the exact same spot every time while configuring.
The good way: hold the phone like you normally would when unlocking the phone, and place your finger at slightly different places on the scanner when configuring (do not center your finger at the exact same spot).
I hope this helps.
That's the way I've done it since I bought the phone and my success rate when using the fingerprint scanner must be around 90% (no kidding).

Same here. Actually, I think my success rate on the fingerprint scanner is higher than 90%.
I'm getting good results from this
Depends on fingers skin too. Scanner dosn't recognise fingers a lot when having dry skin(washed hands a lot in a day) and had normal skin when entering prints.
Thanks for sharing, i getting 90% success rate with this method.
Anyone else think the finger print reader is painfully slow when the screen is off?
My honor 5x i literally tap the rear reader and the phone unlocks instantly. On the pixel i have to hold it there for about half a second.

Mine is super fast. Maybe try resetting your phone?

It's definitely slower than the OnePlus 3 I had before, but not enough for me to get upset about.
Mine is lightening fast. Unlock my phone even faster than pattern .
Twice as fast as the 6P ever was.
Maybe a little slower than the Axon 7.
Faster than the S7 and iPhone 7.
It's not slow by any means... maybe not the quickest either, but definitely not slow to the point that it matters.

I agree. It's not slow by any means. The one plus three sure does have a faster finger print scanner, but the phone makes the OS feel like it just snorted a line of sugar. The Pixels scanner feels more fluid and has a smooth transition when unlocking the phone.

Faster then my Honor 5X which was the fastest.
Try putting multiple sets of the same fingers you use. That made a noticeable difference and cut down on unable to read errors. I have maybe 6 different profiles for 2-3 fingers just in case. Just a thought.
Fastest I've experienced.
Mine is also the fastest on any phone I've had. Super quick. Maybe yours is defective.
Mine's pretty fast. Just put any of my registered fingers in any direction on the sensor and ON.
It can be slow after your phone has been left unused for a while - in other words, if your phone has gone into "doze", it may not register your print as fast as it normally does.
But if the phone has not gone into deep doze, print recognition is very fast
The fingerprint reader is instantaneous. It feels slow because you have the animations on. Go to developer settings and disable every animation
Take it back mate, the scanner is almost instant on mine and also works at any angle
Mine is literally instantaneous. Or atleast faster than anyone I have used before.
Im talking from screen off. When the screen is on it is fast i will agree.
But from screen of my honor 5x beats it every time.

Im sure, but I am talking screen off to home screen. Its almost instant.
Honor 5x
Pixel XL
Unlocking as fast as I can on both phones.

I noticed this immediately after using it for the first time. The 6P scanner opened the phone quicker and also didn't fail ever. Every so often I have to tap the Pixel one again because it didn't read it. And also hangs a few micro seconds before the screen comes on. This only happens after its been sitting a while though. When out of doze it is flawless. I bet doze has something to do with it.
Are the Tab S fingerprint scanners known to get worse with time? When my T800 was new, my success rate with the fingerprint scanner was something like 3 out of 4 times (so, it wasn't a great scanner to begin with), but now it got worse than 1 out of 10.
How is the speed/accuracy of the fingerprint scanner after the recent updates? Its said to be slow and unreliable at launch time.
Is it now as good or close to the usual capacitative scanners?

Yes it is slow(even after update) especially when you try to unlock when the screen is off (takes 1 second), and on always on display it takes 0.5-0.8 s, sometimes it doesn't recognuze fingerprint. So compared to the usual fingerprint scanner, it's very slow, though it can be improved via updates

Samsung released another update earlier today that was focussed on the fingerprint reader and it has certainly improved the performance. Comparatively, it now takes half the time it took with the original firmware, though it is still slower than a capacitive reader. More importantly, the accuracy has improved a lot compared to the original firmware and it rarely fails, as long as the finger lands on the right spot.
I have had this phone since September and came from Huawei P30 Pro, before that Honor V10, Huawei P20 which had fast fingerprint sensor and worked 99% of the time first time .
I cannot believe how bad this sensor is in real use, unlock success rate is about 5% no matter how many times I delete and Reregistered all fingers.
I scan my prints and test in the setup and they are acknowledged correctly but once I start using for real to unlock the phone or approve stuff it rarely works.
I have tried all kinds of angles and strengths of press but it's useless.
Running the beta in hope of improvement but it's still useless.
Did I get a bad unit here or is Samsung just totally crap with fingerprint sensors?

After you've registered your fingerprints.... re-register them to improve the accuracy of the scanner. Also, if you find it sluggish, reduce the animations in the settings...

I am reregistering prints to try and improve and after every update hoping something is better.
As said when setting up and checking it is fine but when I have to use for example with 2FA app to approve a log in it just fails "fingerprint not recognised" before eventually going to pin.
Will try the animation setting and see if that helps.

for a while, the Note10+ fingerprint reader had a terrible success rate, no matter what "hacks" i used to try to make it better (i.e. multiple fingers, the "test/learning" hack, etc.) — loads of "make sure you cover the entire sensor" and "no match found" etc.
this tip might be crazy, but it does work: MOISTURIZE LIGHTLY.
100% serious.
my right thumb was not able to unlock my Note while i was working at my desk. super frustrating. looked at my hands, thought they were looking dry, so i put a dab of glycerin hand cream on and BANG: every single damn time now, regardless of whether my thumb is vertical or sideways.
I got my Note 10+ today and have spend a long time setting it up. Once I registered my prints I had not issues (unless I didn't press firmly enough on the screen). It's been fine for me thus far.
You shouldn't compare ultrasonic fingerprint sensors that are in their early stages with optical ones that have been out there for years. Ultrasonic is much more secure. And saying that success rate is only 5% means that you either have a defective unit or need to change the way you use it. I have a success rare of no less that 90%... not as accurate and quick as my old note 8 with its optical sensor but I got used to it
I've had no issues with the fingerprint sensor, before or after the update.

heh yeah classic S10+ fingerprint reader from Samsung. I also found the same "you need to lick your finger first. Yeah, it's not a joke. " :laugh:
yep lick your finger first does actually work, if you have dry hands the scanner is mostly trash, use moisturiser/lick/damp your finger and it will work near 100% reliability. basically if you don't have clammy hands it will likely be hit and miss.
actually found myself in bars using the condensation on my drinks to help me unlock the phone, it seems an odd thing but it seems moisture in your skin is a massive deciding factor on it working.
