Really happy with the Mowei screen protector for the P6P. No issues at all with the fingerprint scanner and I get complete coverage of the phone paired with my Caseology case. I read that the Whitestone screen is a tad smaller than the Mowei which I think would bother me.

Pro worth it for just the camera upgrade?
Some people just don't get that online forum posts shouldn't always be taken seriously.

Depends. Are you planning to use it as your primary shooter or do you have a dedicated camera? I think for camera alone, it is a bit difficult to justify the price since it's a pretty significant jump.

Looks that way. I've checked some carrier websites out and they only show black as an option.

Oh gosh, i want that. Nevermind that I already have the spigen clear ultra hybrid and the official google case. :facepalm: I like that the new slim armor has the look of the ultra hybrid with a convenient kickstand! I'll have to keep an eye out on amazon cuz $50retail is kinda steep.. lol.

I can't decide on a case, and the people having fingerprint problems have put me off a screen protector too even though I am also afraid of breaking the screen :). Well I'm also not too thrilled about the liquid application.

Got the update last night, seems everyone's experience is different so take with a grain of salt.

issues I was having and testing this morning my fingerprint with LK screen protector went from 2% to maybe 5% so still useless.

I see no difference or improvement with camera viewfinder noise, color accuracy or selfie picture result.

It was intermittent but wifi would sometimes disconnect and reconnect which I haven't seen yet and Google browser would randomly close which I haven't experienced yet.

Was really hoping on a fingerprint improvement as a lot say they have no issue or after update it finally works unfortunately not for me and I use biometrics for most of my 2FA.

So is the FPS a hardware or software issue...

Either way why put up with it, because it's a Pixel? Return or sell it.

Thankfully my P6P is all good with LK film.

This is the screen protector to get if you have a P6P and want a tempered glass screen protector over a TPU one.

It's definitely a software issue. The P6 and P6P are using the same Goodix optical sensor in the OnePlus, Huawei, Vivo and Redmi phones.

This article has a pretty good analysis on the situation with the terrible FPS. I agree it's strange cuz when i use biometrics to log into bank apps, it usually registers right away. I'm going to have to try the method of unlocking my phone straight for 10 minutes to see if it helps improve anything.

You don't need to do this. I was able to get the December update, FPS only worked well in the first few hours. I didn't remember if I did increase touch screen sensitivity or not??? Now I have the January update for 2 days, FPS is working very well so far, 8 out 10 tries. I make sure to increased touch sensitivity

Edited: I have TOCOL [3+3 Pack] for Pixel 6 screen protector.
