Pixel 8 still had bad optical fingerprint sensor. Pixel 9 has the ultrasonic sensor which is much better. Could never use my Pixel 7 (from a past mint deal) due to the horrific optical fingerprint sensor. The Moto ThinkPhone optical sensor and software by comparison works nearly 100%.

Edit: So I couldn't resist, and ended up buying a Pixel 8 to try out. It turns out the Pixel 8 fingerprint reader is vastly improved from the horrid Pixel 7 fingerprint reader. It's amazing how much better it is, in just 1 generation. The Pixel 8 fingerprint reader has worked 100% for me, just as good as the Moto ThinkPhone fingerprint reader. Very impressive.

One odd thing - when I first set it up, the facial recognition was the only option, and the fingerprint reader setting was missing. After a restart, the fingerprint reader option became visible.

I don't disagree. My workaround is to register my thumb multiple times (3 in my case). Any little variances in the read will better match a larger pool of registered fingers. Not a perfect solution but it definitely helps.

If you are a customer which is pretty easy without a year of service the phone is 399.00. There was a promo for a year's service but that's not what I'm referencing. I have mint and can purchase it without buying any additional plan.
So if I do the 3 month or 1 month plan I can get it for 399?

Everyone knows iPhones are the only ones that retain their value to a reasonable degree. Take this deal if you want a pixel and don't want to wait 3-6 months for the pixel 9 to reach that territory. It's not that big of an upgrade outside the fingerprint sensor, and the 8 is smaller and lighter if a compact phone is what you're after.

It's really not that bad, especially compared to the 6 or 7

No, you pay $580 with a 1-year plan, plus $60-$70 in taxes and fees. So saying "Mint sells the Pixel 9 for 399.00 brand new" is not honest.

Interesting, I've had a 7 Pro for 3 years or however long it's been out and I've never had an issue with the fingerprint sensor. Good to know the new one is better though, I might be due for an upgrade pretty soon.

For those of us who keep a phone for a long time, that's irrelevant. I keep my phones at least 5 years, and after that long, none of them are worth much, regardless of brand.

If you're already a mint customer the phone can be purchased at that $400 price point and the only drawback is the phone is locked to mint for 60 days.
