The Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P They are still very current smartphones at the moment due to the fact that they are updated to the latest version of the operating system, and that they have features that offer us really simply perfect performance and operation. However, they do not have the same functions as the Google Pixel, although they could be updated to include them. Google is considering updating them to include fingerprint reader gestures.
Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, go for the Google Pixel
The Google Pixel will be the first smartphones that will arrive with many exclusive functions that will not be present in Android 7.1 Nougat, but simply in these unique mobiles of the company. This should make them special, but the truth is that users of smartphones like the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, the previous generation of Google mobiles, are asking to be updated to have the same or similar characteristics, since that was always the reason why they were bought. That is why the company is valuing, they say, include a feature that users liked a lot, which is that of the gestures on the fingerprint reader. That is, not only use this reader for user authentication, but also to scroll through an article, for example, or go from one photo to another when we are in the gallery. Something like a touch pad.
A priori, the fingerprint reader of the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P It could be used in this way, as it is quite similar to the Google Pixel, and even much more basic mobiles can include similar functions with mods that the developers have created. Thus, if even third parties can create software for more basic mobiles to use this function, it would be incredible to think that Google engineers are not capable of bringing this function to users. Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P.
So far, the only thing we know is that it has been officially confirmed that Google is considering updating these two smartphones to add this function. We assume that it will depend on whether they get it to work perfectly and with the performance required for a Google smartphone. And if this is the case, sooner or later the gesture function in the fingerprint reader will also reach the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, something that will undoubtedly delight users who bought these smartphones hoping that they were always up to date with the latest Google software.
