  • Multiple users on Reddit report a broken Google Pixel 6 fingerprint sensor.
  • The problem seems to stem from the phone completely running out of battery.
  • Google is aware of the issue, but for now, only a factory reset fixes the problem.

Now that lucky buyers have had time to play with their new Pixel 6 smartphones, we’re starting to see some issues. Unfortunately, most of the issues seem to stem around the fingerprint sensor, which we noted was fairly weak in our Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro reviews.

Disappointingly, it appears there’s more bad news for the Google Pixel 6 fingerprint sensor now. According to multiple users on Reddit, a dead battery can permanently disable your phone’s fingerprint sensor.
