Pixel 2 XL has been updated with Android 8.1
Android lovers buy Google phones to be the first ones to experience the newest Android OS on the market. It seems that this time they experienced a little bad luck with the newest Android 8.1 Oreo update on Pixel 2 XL.
According to affected users, the newest OS causes about a second of delay when someone uses the fingerprint scanner. After the fingerprint is introduced, the screen should turn on instantly. After the update, users noticed the delay.

Some Pixel 2 XL owners have only expressed their frustration on official forums, while others reported it on Reddit. There are also videos on YouTube showing the delay live. The delay presented in one video is of three seconds.
