It takes too long for the sensor to recognize your finger, and a good second and a half passes before the phone unlocks. The good news is that it is at least accurate, and we didn’t get any misreads during the review period.
–PhoneArena review of the Galaxy A55, 2024Now, a report from the Samsung-focused Dutch site GalaxyClub reads that a possible solution might’ve arrived. After not getting updates for an unusually long time the Galaxy A55 has caught up recently. The phone received three updates within a few weeks.
Initially, after the first two updates, there was no mention of a fix for the fingerprint sensor. However, following the latest update in July, several users have reported that the scanner’s performance has significantly improved.
It’s worth noting that the improvement in the fingerprint sensor’s performance might not be solely due to the most recent update. It could be the cumulative effect of the recent updates, or it might be related to the installation process and the subsequent cleanup of cache files.
