Too many grammatical glitches / typos. Unlike gsmarena. Kindly take note. Gsmarena has always been known for top notch experience. And such glitches hamper that.

    lol. haha.

              In-display fingerprint scanners are really full of compromises to start with. It's not only about security issues with glass and screen protectors being fingerprint magnets and having patterns of their own, plus the fact you're unlocking on a fingrprint riddled glass surface. It's also about the fact glass scratches, cracks and breaks, leaving the long term consistency and reliability of in-display fingerprint scanners in question. Like face ID and iris scans, they're actually solutions to problems that don't exist or have more sensible alternatives. My Samsung tab S5e has fingerprint scanning on the power on button at the right side of the tablet and it works perfectly. Why bother with in-display fingerprint scanners that only create longevity/durability/reliability problems and security problems when placing the scanner at the back or the side works perfectly? It's utterly insane and have more to do with MARKETING/SALES PUSH and BRAGGING RIGHTS, showcasing the latest, most futuristic tech, even if older, simpler tech still works just as efficiently as the new one for SO MUCH LESS. Much like removal of the headphone jack really.
