It should be the same fingerprint reader across the whole lineup, so I dont know what's happened to yours. Mine works fine, not as fast as some ultrasonic counterparts, but I have no issue with that coming from iPhone Xs.
There's tons and tons of reports of fingerprint sensor issues with pretty much every pixel model since they went to the in-screen reader.
If you've had good luck with yours I guess congrats on the good luck.
Mine pretty much only serves as a negative. Any time face unlock can work, it does. Any time the face unlock doesn't work, the fingerprint sensor also doesn't work...but it forces me to try three times before giving me the option to enter my PIN.
So all summer, when I'm wearing sunglasses, every single time I want to check my phone, I have to hit the fingerprint sensor three times then enter my PIN. Google should be embarrassed by how awful it is.
All I can recommend is to delete all the fingerprints and just use the PIN at this point.
