As the supposed presentation date of the Samsung Galaxy S8 approaches, scheduled for the Mobile World Congress, which is held at the end of February 2017, more and more information is leaking about the possible specifications of this new terminal. As the filing date approaches everyone the rumors will make sense or will be discarded, but what is certain is that we are going to have a good number of rumors and leaks, and since Actualidad Gadget We will echo them. The latest rumor related to the Samsung Galaxy S8 suggests that the fingerprint sensor could be optical.
Currently, fingerprint sensors basically detect the relief of the fingerprints, in order to identify the rightful owner and thus allow access to the information. These sensors are made up of tiny capacitors that exchange electrical charges when the finger is placed on it to check if the relief of the finger corresponds to the one stored in the terminal. The information about the fingerprint is stored solely and exclusively on the device, it does not leave the device and furthermore this information is encoded in such a way that even opening the terminal cannot be accessed.
But Samsung wants to go a little further and with the Galaxy S8 it wants to use a sensor that receives fingerprint information through light reflected on them. The advantage of this sensor is that it se can be placed under a layer of glass which would make it possible to remove the home button terminal and thus expand the space allocated to the screen. The next iPhone 8, it seems that the 7s will skip it, it will also integrate a fingerprint sensor of this type, which would also offer the possibility of being able to reduce the screen frame, something that has always been criticized by Apple.
You should be called a mythoman, it's all based on hearsay.
