Galaxy Note 9 will not get the built-in fingerprint sensor under the screen

Samsung was expected to use the built-in fingerprint sensor under the screen on the Galaxy S8, but that did not happen.

This year Vivo unveiled the Vivo X20 Plus UD, the world's first phone using the built-in fingerprint reader developed by Synaptics, and was expected to be used by Samsung within its flagship Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 +, but the leaks and rumors denied it, making the eyes turn to the next phone Galaxy Note 9.

A new South Korean report said that this phone will not have a built-in fingerprint sensor under the screen, instead it will include a fingerprint reader installed on the back, similar to what we saw within Press Releases for Galaxy S9.

According to the source, this is due to the Galaxy Note 9 screens Infinity Display, the same curved OLED screens within the Galaxy Note 8, which makes Samsung face a challenge in providing the fingerprint reader built-in under the screen, although the sensor developed by the company Synaptics works only in OLED screens, but glass manufacturing plays a pivotal role in this.

The report, based on information from sources within the supply chain, also states that Samsung has revealed to the component suppliers details about the fingerprint reader in the Galaxy Note 9, which will be on the back. He also claimed that the Galaxy Note 9 will enter the mass production phase in June of this To be launched in August, in line with the announcement date of the Galaxy Note 8 on 23 August 2017.

However, the South Korean giant has not completely stopped developing such a technology, which it continues to develop in cooperation with several companies, but the sources do not expect to use such technology within its products before 2019, and comes after it was expected that Samsung uses the built-in fingerprint sensor under the screen in the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy Note 8, but that did not happen, subsequent reports show that it abandoned the idea within those phones because of technical difficulties.

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S9 at its press event on February 25, in conjunction with the MWC 2018 World Mobile Congress to be held later this month in Barcelona, ​​Spain.
