I had a cheap Samsung model with side mounted fp sensor and it just comes to taste what’s better imho.

Right now the under display fp from my Phone 2 is the best working sensor I’ve encountered so far. I’ve had maybe three mistouches the whole last two weeks.

RapidZapper changed the title to Alternative to under screen fingerprint sensor .

Anonymous297 The fingerprint sensor under the display can also break too… if the screen protector breaks it won’t work either.

It’s much cheaper to replace a side fingerprint sensor than to replace the entire display.

      Ↄɾ fix it doesnt stop working if screen protector breaks. it stops when screenbreaks. its under the screen not under the screen protector. plus you cant put ultrasonic reader inside of button you know..

          vovan-v Apple just launched a phone with a multifunction touch button in 2024 (which is the same but without FP)… Sony has been using it for years in its premium models… I would say it is the future.

              Ↄɾ fix Sony is the most outdated company there is, to this day they can’t make a screen that will take up the entire area of ​​the phone.

                Anonymous297 You don’t need an ultrasonic or optical sensor, if it’s not under the screen… they’re not better or worse. I’m just saying that I like a FP on the side.

                    vovan-v right! I agree with you. The fingerprint scanner on the power button is so outdated… the way I see things, a good fingerprint reader under the screen (preferably ultrasonic) is the most intuitive and natural way to unlock the phone and apps. I don’t like to wrap my fingers around the phone to be able to unlock.

                      fingerprint sensor under the screen is the best, in my opinion. It’s better than side mounted like the ones used in Xiaomi.
