Samsung Galaxy Note 9 may not get an in-screen fingerprint sensor even if the tech is ready

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is expected to launch in three months, and it may do so without the rumored in-screen fingerprint sensor we've all
been waiting for.Samsung's ultrasonic-based 'fingerprint on-display technology' is said to be complete, according to a report by Korean site
Chosun
Implementation doesn't appear to be the problem.Instead, the company is thought to be holding back from using it in the Note 9 by choice, in
order to increase yield and improve the accuracy
We saw similar ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor technology at Qualcomm before the Samsung Galaxy S9 launch, and the demo was still
crude.It's true that Vivo and Huawei have both launched phones with in-screen fingerprint sensors, but ones that use very different
optical-based technology
That's said to be easier to implement, but less accurate than ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.Cue the Samsung Galaxy S10 in-screen sensorThe
Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus were the first Samsung phones anticipated to ship with an in-screen fingerprint sensor
That, of course, didn't happen for many of the same reasons – it wasn't ready yet.The S8 and Note 8 phones, instead, gave us an awkward
off-set fingerprint sensor on the back
The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus fixed this issue to a degree with a center-aligned rear-facing fingerprint sensor.Remember when this off-set
rear-facing fingerprint sensor was a thing An in-screen fingerprint sensor may fix that.The wait is almost over for a better solution,
according to today's report
We may finally get the first Samsung device with a behind-glass fingerprint reader via the Samsung Galaxy S10, two years after all of the
rumored started.This will be a welcome addition for long-time Samsung users who familiar with the fingerprint reader that was integrated on
the front home button (on the S7 and S7 Edge)
If it happens on time with the S10, expect a February unveiling at MWC 2019.As it stands, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is poised to launch with
an S Pen and a specs upgrade, but not an in-screen fingerprint, despite all of the back-and-forth rumors about the
