A brand-new, high-tech in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner from Qualcomm has been introduced.
According to Qualcomm, the newest fingerprint technology, known as 3D Sonic Max, is the biggest fingerprint sensor currently in use and is 17 times bigger than the previous 3D Sonic Sensor. The Verge reports that the 3D Sonic Max also has a feature that allows it to read two fingerprints at once, significantly enhancing the security mechanism.
Ultrasonic fingerprint technology, which is more reliable and secure than the current optical in-display fingerprint technology, is also used in Qualcomm’s first-generation 3D Sonic Sensor, which was previously introduced. However, there was an issue that was fixed where individuals could log in using their fingerprints when the 3D Sonic Sensor was originally introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S10 series. Another UK-based bank, NatWest, has removed apps from the Google Play Store for Galaxy S10 users, and other banking organizations have temporarily suspended support for the Galaxy S10 and Note phones. Nationwide Building Society, a UK bank, has disabled the fingerprint login option for Galaxy S10 phone owners.
