Galaxy S11 May Not Use Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner Following Security Scare

With leaks about the Galaxy S11 condign more than of a torrent in the run-upwards to the device's launch next yr, a new written report now suggests that Samsung might ditch a popular characteristic from its next-gen flagship smartphone following a recent security scare. According to Mashable, Samsung Securities analyst, Lee Jong-wook, has claimed that the Southward Korean visitor may ditch the in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner in favor of other biometric hallmark protocols in the Milky way S11 lineup.

Samsung is said to be mulling the extreme step following reports that the ultrasonic fingerprint scanners in the Galaxy S10 were authenticating any fingerprint when the display had a elementary screen-protector installed. While Samsung was quick to fix this issue, the problem created a major headache for both the visitor and end-consumers after many financial and security applications proactively blocked the use of the fingerprint scanners on the affected phones, forcing people to use pins or patterns for their own security.

While the blog goes on to speculate that Samsung might resort to hardware-based facial recognition (a la Apple) instead of fingerprints in its Milky way S11-serial devices, information technology would be interesting to see if the company will, indeed, implement a new biometric process following the security scare with some other.

That being the case, it won't be a major surprise if the company goes back to optical in-display scanners, or even employ the tried and tested concrete fingerprint scanners in its next-gen flagship smartphones. Both will be financially more than viable for Samsung too, given that it will be able to buy the hardware from Southward Korean or Chinese suppliers at lower rates than having to pay college prices to Qualcomm.
