Samsung Galaxy S10 to Offer In-Display Fingerprint Sensor in 2 Variants; Ramp Shipments to 40 Million: Report

Samsung Galaxy S10 to Offer In-Display Fingerprint Sensor in 2 Variants; Ramp Shipments to 40 Million: Report



HIGHLIGHTS

  • Samsung Galaxy S10 shipments are reportedly projected to hit 40 million
  • Superior models are said to sport ultrasonic in-display fingerprint senso
  • The new fingerprint sensors could be outsourced to meet demand


Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to come with enhanced hardware over last year's Galaxy

S9 family. Now, a new report claims initial shipments of the next-generation Galaxy flagship 

 will be ramped up to 40 million units. The smartphone was previously reported to debut with

ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors, and latest rumours re-affirm this. The presence of the 

 advanced sensors is likely to help the South Korean company differentiate its offering from 

 the iPhone X that Apple launched last year with TrueDepth Camera sensor-supported Face

ID technology.
Digitimes reports, citing people familiar with the development, Samsung is set to ramp up the 

 shipments of the Galaxy S10 to 40 million units, with AMOLED-based 6.1- and 6.4-inch 

 variants accounting for 34-36 million units. While there is said to be a 5.8-inch model in the 

 Galaxy S10 lineup with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, the two other models in the new 

 family with 6.1- and 6.4-inch display sizes will are claimed to feature ultrasonic in-display 

 fingerprint sensors.This is in line with what TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo 

 stated last week.
Samsung has reportedly been "reluctant" to place orders for iris recognition chips. The 

 company did use similar solutions on its previous top-end offerings and was in the rumours to 

 retain their deployment on the Galaxy S10 as well. However, it is now said that the Galaxy 

 maker is now set to outsource in-display sensors from Taiwan-based General Interface 

 Solutions (GIS) and China-based O-film Tech to offer the newer hardware technologies on 

 its next flagship.
Alongside the Galaxy S10 lineup, Digitimes claims that one top-end model each from the 

 Galaxy A- and Galaxy Note-Series will feature an ultrasonic in-display sensor. We can 

 safely presume that the new technology will be a part of the Galaxy Note 10 as well.
That said, the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanning is currently at its nascent stage. 

 Companies such as Synaptics starte building their in-display fingerprint sensors to gain the 

 early mover advantage. However, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are yet to 

 prefer this new development for their devices. Vivo lately brought its Nex models. Likewise, 

 Xiaomi adopted a similar solution for its Mi 8 Explorer Edition.
