14 DAY TRIAL // A report from ETnews says that General Interface Solutions (GIS) is planning to supply Samsung with the third generation ultrasound fingerprint sensors developed by Qualcomm for its future Galaxy S10 smartphone.
According to the GIS touch-screen panel maker, Qualcomm has already finished developing its third-gen fingerprint sensor Snapdragon Sense ID modules, which would make it the perfect candidate for Samsung's next flagship device.
If we are to believe the rumor, the Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone is supposed to come with Qualcomm's 3rd gen Snapdragon Sense ID the most performant and accurate under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor available on the market.
Ultrasonic fingerprint readers should be able to detect biometric data through thick glass or metal material, which should make it possible to be placed even further down in the phone's unibody case.
The fingerprint reading reader should be mounted under the smartphone's display, wholly concealed from the outside and neatly tucked within the unit's unibody design.
Ultrasonic fingerprint sensors work by creating 3D maps of your print biometric data
Given that Samsung has been planning to add display fingerprint sensors to its phones since the Galaxy S8, it would probably be about time for them to release a device with this type of fingerprint reading module.
A Samsung smartphone with an in-display sensor would not be a surprise given that other phone manufacturers have already launched such devices, with Huawei's Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS and Vivo's Nex, X20 Plus UD, X21, and V11 units already being on the market.
Furthermore, OnePlus is also rumored to have its own phone with an optical-based in-display fingerprint reader, dubbed OnePlus 6T.
The Snapdragon Sense ID sensor supposed to be bundled within Samsung's Galaxy S10 model should be a lot more precise than optical units given that the ultrasonic tech maps the human fingerprint in 3D and not using the more inexact 2D mapping.
