Consider how expensive these phones than all other 855 phones. They should implement FPS in both on screen and power button so their customers can have choice to use under different situation.

    If someone 3D prints my finger and uses it to unlock my phone, I will gladly let them use my phone

It much more secure. They all keep sticking to capacitive fingerprint sensor regardless. I'm pretty sure the tech has matured enough and cheap because it exist since 2016 like in Mi5s.

            have they done the same with a50 issue?

              The article seems to casually think that 3d printed fingerprints can be casually made in your office laser printer

              Its ok to point the hack out but all technology in its first iterations are like this.. Weren't there articles on how the faceid let close relatives unlock iphones?

                  DroidBoye, 13 Apr 2019Xiaomi Mi5s (2016) has that under the glass FP scanner.Oh it is, i just check it. Thanks for pointing it out.

                    Akuma, 13 Apr 2019I agreeLol, so you mean they should do that "speedtest" everytime Sammy updates the FP scanner? lol.

                    My point BTW was that I don't think they would do the speedtest video but they should atleast update their review articles.

                                      Well done to Samsung. Highly appreciated update, looking forward to more
