Not my experience. They are usually instant, but you need a flagship device, of course. Otherwise it's comparing apples and oranges.

The $1000 price tag on the Pixel tells me it's a flagship device and yet the scanner is still trash.

But optical scanners just suck in general. I wish they'd bring back the rear sensor, it was so convenient both for unlocking and for having a shortcut to pulling down the notification shade.
