Hey there!!! I had a same issue and fingerprint scanner seemed little bit slow as compared to old back of the phone sensors. 

but here's the solution it worked for me and can see some improvements. try it out 

  • Goto settings and search for "optimise battery usage" click on result 

image

  • you'll have a list, select second option "optimise battery usage

image

  • once you're inside optimise battery usage setting you'll see a drop down list. select "All" from that list. 

image

  • after that click on search button(top right corner as shownin screenshot) and search for "biometrics"

image

  • you'll find "com.samsung.android.biomatrics " turn that off and you're good to go 👍

image

  • restart your device once and see if your problem solved or not.

Created an account just to say Thank You!! This was starting to become one of the deal breakers for me with this phone and now I love it. The sensor is as fast as the ads and reviews show them to be. I don't understand why battery optimization slows so many things down

Good to here that I was able to solve your issue. And yeah battery optimization is suppose to restrict some device features and performance 🥺
