Samsung Galaxy S23 series may feature a next-gen Qualcomm fingerprint scanner

The Galaxy S23, Samsung’s flagship smartphone series, is expected to feature Qualcomm’s 3rd Generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

The Galaxy S10 became the first Samsung phone to include an ultrasonic fingerprint reader beneath the display. However, its performance was inconsistent. Qualcomm’s second-generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensor was included in the Galaxy S21. It appears that Samsung’s next-generation rising smartphone will include an even improved fingerprint reader.

The Galaxy S23, according to rumours, will include Qualcomm’s 3rd Generation ultrasonic fingerprint reader. However, we’re not sure whether it’s the same 3D Sonic Max sensor Qualcomm introduced earlier this year or a completely new fingerprint scanner. We’re in for a treat if it’s the 3D Sonic Max, which is the world’s largest and most advanced fingerprint reader.

The Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max scanner has a surface area of 20mm x 30mm, which is nearly 10 times larger than the 3-dimensional Sonic Gen 2 8mm x 8mm scanner utilized in the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra. It’s already in the iQOO 9 Pro as well as the Vivo X80 Pro.

It has five times the accuracy of the 3-dimensional Sonic Gen 2 and can cater to two fingers at the same time for added security. It even claims to support one-tap fingerprint registration, which greatly simplifies the procedure of registering fingerprints.

The Galaxy S23 series is also expected to include an E6 LTPO 3.0 Super AMOLED display with 2,200 nits of peak brightness, a 200 MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor S23 Ultra only, a Snapdragon 8 Generation 2 processor, LPDDR5X RAM, Wi-Fi 7, UFS 4.0 storage and urgent or emergency messaging through the use of satellite communication.

All eyes are now on the release of Samsung’s next flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S23 series has already been the subject of numerous rumours and reports. The launch is already expected to take place in early 2023. A new report now offers some additional information.

According to reports, Samsung will hold a complete Unpacked event for the Galaxy S23 release in San Francisco. It’d be the first live event as they were halted due to the global epidemic.
