Following the release of the first developer preview of Android 12 Last month, Google has released the second developer preview. Although the new developer preview gives us a sneak peek at the new android features 12, also includes evidence that a Pixel phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner is in the works. In fact, there is a list of phones that can update to Android 12
A Google Pixel with an in-display fingerprint sensor
After the Mountain View giant released the second developer build of Android 12, it has been discovered several new code classes in the SystemUIGoogle app. One of these new classes refers to something called "udfpsControllerGoogle".
Now, the "udfps" part refers to an under-display fingerprint scanner. According XDA carryGoogle added many other similar options in the first developer build of Android 12. However, as Android is an open source platform, it was felt that the company added support for an under-display fingerprint scanner, for device manufacturers. third-party phones, rather than Google Pixel Phones.
However, the new udfps classes are included in the com.google.android.systemui path in Android 12 DP2. For those who don't know, this path refers to Google's hardware products, while the com.android.systemui path refers to the Android Open Source Platform (AOSP).
A Pixel with new ways to unlock
So this could mean that Google is developing a new Pixel mobile phone with an under-display fingerprint scanner. An in-display fingerprint scanner has become something of a common feature in modern mobile phones with an AMOLED panel. Plus, it's about time Google rolled out this biometric authentication technology to its Pixel lineup. even the Pixel 5 it came with the old-but-safe physical fingerprint sensor on the back instead of an in-display one.
Rather, the new benchmarks are early evidence that a Pixel phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner could launch soon. It's not like we haven't seen any Google hardware leaks via Android source code before. However, we suggest you take this information with a pinch of salt and wait for an official announcement from the well-known search engine.
