Galaxy P30 Samsung First Smartphone Coming with Fingerprint On Display

Vivo-Nex-in-display (2)

Samsung may have not yet agreed upon in-display fingerprint sensors entirely. There is, after all, the rumor that the Galaxy S10 next year will consume such a feature. It might not be Samsung’s first phones to have that, however. Coming from a few leak sources, Samsung could be making an appetizer for that, tapping a not so special fingerprint on display (FOD) in a convinced Galaxy P30 that has yet to expose its existence, sometime before the Galaxy S10 seemingly.

Samsung has just announced its reorganizing of its smartphone’s lines into the Galaxy S premium brand, the Galaxy A mid-range line, and the Galaxy M entry-level tier. That Galaxy S, A, M plan, however, might only apply to its international phones so it shouldn’t be astonishing to hear of a foldable Galaxy W and this Galaxy Preserved for the Chinese market.

Not much is recognized yet about the Galaxy P30 and its seemingly larger sibling, the Galaxy P30+. Most of the leaks coming from the likes of @MMDDJ_ on Twitter focus on one key feature: the still indefinable fingerprint on display. Why Samsung would select to put such a new feature into a comparatively obscure phone model is a bit mystifying. Then again, it put its first triple cameras on a Galaxy A phone.

That said, the Galaxy P30’s sensor won’t be as unusual as what’s predictable on the Galaxy S10. It will be a typical optical fingerprint scanner, like to the ones used by Vivo and Xiaomi. The Galaxy S10, in contrast, is sloped to use Qualcomm’s ultrasonic technology.

One odd thing about the Galaxy P30 is that it will allegedly use an LCD screen instead of Samsung’s usual AMOLED panels. Almost all commercially accessible FODs, however, work with OLED screens but there is also unverified word that displays maker JDI does have one that works with LCDs.
