The latest rumors suggest that Samsung would be preparing a new technology for its folding terminals, it would focus on integrating fingerprint readers on the screen in its devices.
The folding terminals are a reality, Samsung already has a couple of generations on the market. But that they are a reality does not mean that there is no room for improvement or innovation.
To date, one of the biggest drawbacks about folding terminals is that they do not have enough technology to adapt improvements that we already enjoy, such as the on-screen fingerprint reader.
Samsung folding terminals advocate for fingerprint readers integrated into the terminal frame. Integrating the fingerprint reader in that position makes you lose a bit of the magic of innovation.
And, is that, mobile devices much cheaper than a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G or Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G, already have a fingerprint system on the device screen. And, of course, the folding should also integrate something like that.
The latest rumors suggest that Samsung would be thinking of doing something like that, in fact, The latest concepts about the future Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 show an under-screen reader design that would work in two directions.
Yes, you read correctly. The supposed under-screen fingerprint reader would be located in the middle of the screen that would coincide with the outer screen. Thus, it would have two areas of action depending on the position of the mobile.
With the phone folded, the fingerprint reader can be used on the outer screen and, once unfolded, it can also be used on the inner screen. Let’s go, the recognition module would be the same, while the action area would be on two screens.
The truth is that this design seems interesting and it may be the future, but it would lack some polish because the half of the screen that coincides with the outside is the left and, once the equipment is open, press your thumb to unlock it. it would be comfortable.
At the moment all this does not stop being a concept, we will have to wait until the departure of the future Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 to see if Samsung integrates fingerprint readers on the screen within its folding devices.
