Want a flagship-sized Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro?
While we don’t know why Samsung put the kibosh on facial recognition for the Pixel 6 Pro, this remains a possibility for the Pixel 7 series. Google, though, is facing something of a public relations problem here. How will owners of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro respond if the fingerprint scanner on the cheaper Pixel 6a seriously outperforms the scanners on the more expensive flagship units?
With the Pixel 7 less than half a year away, Does Google owe those Pixel 6 buyers who took an arrow in the back for the team a special discount/trade-in deal when the Pixel 7 goes up for sale?
