I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup.
One thing I missed though, was that apparently my Pixel doesn’t have a fingerprint sensor anymore. I did some research, apparently it’s quite easy to break the fingerprint sensor (or some places simply just don’t include a sensor in the repair?) when replacing the screen.
Today I also noticed (through Show refresh rate
in developer options) that my screen will only do 60 Hz as well.
Also I have stupidly high battery drain, I’m not 100% if that’s related though.
Long story short, learn from my mistakes and either don’t buy a used phone with a replacement screen or carefully test all functionalities associated with the screen, mainly high refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.
I’m fine with fingerprint, actually prefer it to most other forms of authentication, but hate facial recognition and my new R Celly phone’s method just seems unsanitary.
