Delay in unlocking your Pixel 2 XL

Do you have the Ambient Display set to Always On?

I've read that the June security patch altered the behavior of Always On to eliminate the strange flashes that were observed when locking/unlocking some Pixel 2 XLs. A side-effect is that the screen now takes longer to wake from a fully-off state. If you've got AOD disabled, try turning it back on to see if unlocking becomes more responsive.

Yes that was the only solution I found so far. Turning on Always on Display makes it easier to log in fast. However this would not be of much help for those who have concerns on saving their battery.
