These days we learned that Samsung is preparing a good one with that on-screen fingerprint sensor, which could presumably appear on the Galaxy S10. And it is not just one technology that Samsung is talking about, but up to three more, adding 4, with which the market notch would be eliminated.
The notch is the idea that Apple has gotten of the top hat to try to "innovate" in something. A screen space that is left on one side and the other where the different camera sensors are located. Samsung's idea is to eliminate that notch to move from its "all-screen" mobiles to those that would be ones in which the front is all-screen.
Samsung will revolutionize the smartphone world
Steve Jobs already said it in his day: "Innovation distinguishes leaders from followers". Using a few words from one of the geniuses of new technologies, we find ourselves talking, as indicated by the prototype image shared by Samsung itself, of what a smartphone would be that all the space on its front would be for the screen.
Yes, forget about those holes for the front camera lens, or the speakers, or even those bezels that are getting thinner; like those of the Galaxy S9 or Note 9. Everything will be a screen so that the user experience to which we are accustomed every day changes a lot.
And now the question arises, of cHow are they going to be able to fit the camera, the speakers and the fingerprint sensor below the screen? With 4 technologies that just showed days ago in South Korea.
4 technologies to change smartphones
These are them 4 technologies with which Samsung wants to transform the front of smartphones:
- FOD: fingerprint sensor technology under the display.
- UPS: sensor technology below the screen in which the camera is included.
- HoD: technology for tactile sensitivity.
- SOD: the one that makes sure the sound comes out of the screen.
In other words, we are talking about a fingerprint reader on the screen itself, a speaker that is embedded in the panel, a technology that improves the "touch" of the screen and another dedicated to scanning the face; precisely the one related to the camera.
Of all, the most curious and peculiar is the UPS functionality, which will allow you to put under the screen both iris scanner and camera. So the front camera could be "hidden" under the screen.
As far as is known, the sensors would 'float' under glass in a semi-opaque design that it would not impede "visibility." The image we share shows what was said. If we are really facing a reality with UPS technology, we could be talking about devices that would really be all screen from one side to the other.
Goodbye notch
There are those who like the Notch, and there are those who simply find it the most gruesome thing made for smartphone design. It has already been made clear that we are facing an element that is a pure transition until the next advances arrive.
It has been Apple and a good string of Android manufacturers that have put this functionality into the vein of the front of many mobile phones. Although it has been Samsung the only one that has been faithful not to put that Notch that, on a phone like the Pixel 3, looks terrible (in fact, the guys at Google they tried to hide it in your presentation as it were).
Now if Samsung's UPS technology works, it will undoubtedly be adopted by the rest of the industry, which would effectively the end of the notch design on all kinds of mobile devices.
At the moment we do not know when will Samsung incorporate these new technologies. According to Samsung Mobile News, UPS is being tested on a few prototypes and would not arrive until 2020. Anyway, the Korean company already said that the Galaxy S10 would come with important changes in terms of design, a Galaxy S10 all screen really?
