Samsung’s in-display pressure-sensitive fingerprint scanner almost ready for Galaxy Note 9

Samsung drew the ire of many of its users when it decided to kill the Home Button on its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8. The users are largely complaining about the awkwardly placed fingerprint reader next to the camera on the back of the Galaxy S8 line-up making the South Korean giant think of a solution.
According to a new report from SamMobile, Samsung has filed for a patent with Korea’s Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS), the country’s patent office, for a pressure-sensitive in-display fingerprint reader for its upcoming device next year. While there were reports of people speculating the inclusion of new pressure-sensitive in-display fingerprint reader in the Galaxy S9 and S9+, a recent tweet from a former Samsung executive indicated that this feature could be introduced in its next 2018 flagship smartphone, Galaxy Note 9.
