The same optical fingerprint reader it seems? That's literally the only improvement I wanted, so if it has an optical fingerprint reader that's a dealbreaker for me.
- 7 here, and yeah it sucks, even when using special fingerprint-ready screen protectors.
  
  Yeah, I forgot to mention I have the 7 and the fingerprint reader is the only part of this phone that I genuinely hate.
  
  Worse than the suboptimal battery life?
  
  Yeah, I haven't really had issues with the battery, especially since I plug it in every night. I plug it in the dark shortly before my corneas are burned out by the fingerprint reader.
  
  With GrapheneOS I'm kinda surprised how well it performs, TBH.
  
  On my Pixel 4a it performs worse with GrapheneOS and Sandboxed Google Play Services
- You get secure face unlock now as an alternative if the fingerprint sensor isn't cutting it.
  
  Yeah, face unlock doesn't matter to me especially if it isn't supported in Graphene.
  
  it's even worse than the fingerprint reader.. i can get it to unlock about 1/10 times
- It seems like the face unlock is a lot better now. Since it's level 3. That means you can use Google pay and such without the fingerprint sensor.
  
  Does it work well in the dark? If so it might not be so bad.
  
  Probably not since it doesn't use infrared lasers or similar as far as I know
  
  Idk tbf. The reviews will have to tell us
  
  it does not
- Probably partially my fault since I fat finger it, but it blinds me all of the time. On top of that, it's very inaccurate when compared to my partner's phone which has an ultrasonic one.
