Google seems to have made a slew of mistakes when it comes to the software side of Pixel 2 lineup. Since the launch, the two devices Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have been showing up on the news for software-related issues. Being Google-made phones, users did not expect such issues to pop up on the devices. Even though Google has been quick to respond to all the problems and fixing them in succeeding updates, but every day unleashes new issue.

The latest issue to mark the Pixel 2 XL is related to the slow functionality of the fingerprint sensor after Android 8.1 update. Several Pixel 2 XL took to Google Product Forums, for reporting the issue. Users have reported that after Android 8.1 update, their Pixel 2 XL takes a second longer to unlock the device. One such user wrote on the forum that his,”Pixel 2 XL’s screen takes a good second before the screen turns on. This just started after performing the update.”
