Weekly poll: Are in-display fingerprint readers the future?

19 August 2018
We've gotten used to fingerprint readers on the back, but mid-range phones with in-display readers are incoming. Is it just a fad?

in screen fingerfrint is a nice gimmick but does it really offer something more? i like the option for a fingerprint but honestly cant give a fck where it is (or atleast no right under the camera thats just bad design)

    To me front like my Moto X4 have.
    Touching back means smuddling my ack camera with fingerprints as well.
    Bottom is useless and dificult to use.
    Inside the screen is as good as your screen is not cracked into the pieces.

      How safe is under display scanner?

          People often put their phone on the desk, so people need fps on the front, in the same time people want all screen front, so yes underdisplay fps is what we want.

              I would like a phone with three fingerprint scanner
              1) UD (full screen not just a single spot)
              2) on back
              3) on Power button

                              I doubt that fingerprint scanner is a future at all. They already have your fingerprints. They also have your mails, friends, date of birth, they know what you like and dislike, et cetera. Soon they will have your face scan. Later they will ask for blood and semen samples, "to unlock your phone".
                              You already became a slave of corporations, the question is just how many things are you ready to give them.
                              And yeah, you can call it conspiracy theory.

                                In display fingerprint would be nice, but not necessary. In display selfie camera is a other story that is really required to ditch the notch!

                                      I want to see if the tech of JDi can work without cutting the screen protector.

                                        Zenodroid, 19 Aug 2018If they gets faster, yes. But for now, no. Faster? Can you seriously see the difference in 1/4 of a second response??
                                        Even if it was 1 second delay it is still super fast and enough, most external sensors still don't unlock in 0.1 second, most of them take 1+ second to unlock, so...

                                        Anyway, I would prefer it on the side (like with previous Sony phones), that way you can unlock the phone in any position (laying on the back/front, in the cradle in a car etc) without picking it up.
