The upcoming Pixel 10 series will continue this trend with an even better version of the ultrasonic fingerprint reader. According to a report by Android Headlines, the fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 10 series is said to be faster than previous models, promising an improved user experience, especially with wet fingers.
