The reason for this is because asus opted for a even smaller sensor than last year which already then was meh to begin with.

It isn't bad if calibrated well. Size has nothing to speed of reading, because it reads or not. Sometimes it is just lagging.
Mi 10T have very small fingerprint sensor but it works absolutely stunning (if calibrated well).

Since the server pushes update notice to different serial numbers by batches, it may take some days for you to receive the FOTA notice. Thanks for your patience. You may tap “System updates” in [Settings] >[System] to check if there is new firmware available. Or, you can also try to manually update firmware by referring to the following link.

Finger sensor not working good for me too. I have added 5 fingers of the same finger to make it work better.

And this sensor is ultra slow. Maybe because this animation?

wrong, if you get dirty fingers a lot then it's useless no matter how much you calibrate it. Typical fingerpring sensor as seen on other smartphones are just so much better.
