NEW DELHI: It looks like the new Google Pixel smartphones can’t seem to catch a break. The devices have already gone through several bugs in the past few weeks. Although most of them have been fixed, the arrival of Android 8.1 Oreo has brought with itself another bug in the Pixel 2 XL, according to user reports.
Some Pixel 2 XL users have complained that their handset’s fingerprint sensor has become slow after the Android 8.1 Oreo update. «Anyone else’s fingerprint unlock slower than before the 8.1 update. My Pixel 2 XL’s screen takes a good second before screen turns on. This just started after performing the update,» said one of the users on the Google Product forum. The claim was followed by several others agreeing the existence of the issue.
In addition to this, some of the users have even complained that the screen is slow in turning on when they press the Pixel 2 XL’s power button. Some have added that the issue goes away when the smartphone’s ‘Always On’ feature is turned on.
However, the issue will be resolved soon as Google is aware of it and is likely working on a fix. «All the team is aware of this and are looking into it,» replied one of the top contributors in the Google Product forum.
Earlier this month, Google started rolling out Android 8.1 Oreo update to Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones. The official announcement for the rollout came on December 5 on sidelines of launching the Android Oreo (Go Edition) in India.
