nagokod Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Quote Earlier this week, we learned that Samsung had applied for a patent related to an optical fingerprint scanner on the screen, suggesting that the Galaxy S10 might have this functionality. Quote However, the second patent describes a more advanced fingerprint scanner that uses the full-screen screen and a low-power independent processor. The processor increases the brightness of the screen as soon as finger contact is detected and scans the finger three times to ensure quality.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 23, 2018 Supervisor Share Posted October 23, 2018 a patent is one thing but I'd love to see a working model; hopefully they're actually working on something and not just filing this to sit on it... This is exactly how I would envision fingerprint reading to work on a smartphone IMHO making use of the whole screen so you don't have to be precise on placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS Bob 11 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think this is a significant improvement in phones if it goes mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
