Galaxy Z Fold 4: Samsung would have given up the fingerprint sensor under the screen

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to arrive sometime this summer. Samsung would have chosen not to include a fingerprint sensor under the screen. Instead, we would still have the sensor located directly in the power button on the edge.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is starting to get people talking. If all goes as planned, it should be presented during the summer. Today, the Business Korea website gives us an important detail about its design: he would still not have the right to a fingerprint sensor under the screen. Same thing for the Z Flip 4.

Samsung would have indeed given up integrating such a sensor in its foldable smartphone for technical questions. So we should always find the sensor included in the power button, located on one of the edges. If this placement is ideal and practical, it is however a little anachronistic compared to the rest of the smartphone, which breathes the future to it.

However, Samsung would have tried to integrate this sensor under its foldable screen. A patent filed recently unveiled a two-sided system. The sensor was both placed under the outer and inner screen, allowing both to be used for unlocking.

But Samsung would have finally made the decision to keep the old system. It is indeed more practical for the user on this format (unfolded, you would really have to pick up the sensor with your thumb, according to the patent). In addition, this placement makes it easy to pay without having to open your phone (which would have been possible with this sensor). Perhaps we will see the fingerprint sensor under the screen on the model that will succeed the Z Fold 4, but for the moment, we will have to make do with the format we already know.

As a reminder, the Z Fold 4 is Samsung’s next foldable smartphone model. We will also have to rely on the next Z Flip, which folds widthwise, like a flip phone. Every year, the brand announces its products in the heart of August, so we can expect the same in 2022.
