In-display fingerprint sensors have gotten extra widespread on telephones as of late, so it doesn’t actually come as a shock to study that the upcoming Google Pixel 6 may very well be adopting the function as properly.

This is based on a sequence of screenshots shared on Twitter by Android’s Hiroshi Lockheimer. The tweet was later deleted, however not earlier than screenshots had been captured and retweeted by XDA’s Mishaal Rahman. The screenshots present what seems to be the lockscreen of the Pixel 6 together with a small icon with a fingerprint design.

Hiroshi Lockheimer apparently posted (after which deleted) a screenshot from what’s doubtless the Pixel 6 Pro (the picture decision was 1440×3200.) The cellphone is linked to Verizon 5G, doubtless the service’s sub-6GHz community. Also proven is the place of the UDFPS.

According to Lockheimer’s tweet, he was simply displaying off wallpapers, however possibly he was secretly teasing us. Also, as Rahman factors out, the screenshot reveals the cellphone linked to Verizon’s 5G community, indicating that the Pixel 6 may have help for sub-6GHz 5G connectivity.

That being stated, we suppose an in-display sensor was sort of apparent. The renders of the cellphone that Google had beforehand shared didn’t appear to provide any indication of an exterior sensor, however this screenshot seemingly proves it. Google nonetheless hasn’t talked about a date of when the cellphone can be launched, however we’ll hold our eyes peeled.
