Patent suggests Samsung Galaxy S9 may feature front-facing fingerprint sensor

24 October 2017
There'll be round cut at the bottom (similar to the one Essential's PH-1 has on the top) that'll house the sensor.

    No. No!!! No stupid cutouts. If they can't build it into the display then just put it on the back but in a normal none moronic position unlike on the s8

      I doubt that Samsung's flagships would come out like this as "bezel-less" design is already introduced.

          Calm down guys.. Look at it from engineering point of view.. I am a mechatronic engineer.. This indeed is the UNDER SCREEN fingerprint sensor.. The patent picture just shows how the wiring of the components is bent arount the fingerprint notch because the circuitry of the display and fingerprint is different thus need to be arranged carefully.. If samsung wants to make a display with fingerprint notch it will already has been made inside the S8 and Note 8.. No new patent/engineering breakthrough required

            I don't understand why they didn't just put it on the back just like many other phone right now? I mean on normal position, not the weird position they put it for s8 and note 8.

              Big Daddy, 24 Oct 2017Dude they are not going to place a circular fingerprint sca... moreThis is a carefully crafted story to make people think, that Samsung is as stupid as criapple, and going to make an ugly phone. That ugly x thing, has two ears like batnans mask at the top of a vastly outdated screen res, and brightness panel. Big enough insult to put a second grade model of a Samsung screen, but ti butcher it like that, phew, no Samsung, isn't desperate to catch up like criapple, Samsung is the king of Samoled, no ugly screens for them, this story is an atempt to make the "i" demic seem normal.

                This will most definitely be a cutout on their "bezel-less" phones, its gonna be ugly af, just like iPhone x & (un)essential... expensive, unimmersive, rounded bricks...

                  Haha that cutout would kill the S9... Not a soul would buy it..

                    I absulutely hope it'll be a negetive notch. not a positive one. as in. the notch will be in the bezel instead of the screen itself. making the FPS invisible under the screen.

                      Horrible, the only way is to put under screen, otherwise forget it, no need any stupid cutouts

                                If they had this patent since 2016, then why didn't they try to implement it earlier?

                                    BUT, I like fingerprint sensor on the back!!

                                      Why not just place it in the traditional back spot below the camera
