The Samsung Galaxy S9 could once again have its fingerprint reader on the front

If there is one thing that has been criticized in recent Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + is the status of your fingerprint reader. The Korean decided that it was time to bet on a new location for this fingerprint sensor. And the final decision was to place it in the back. However, the situation is not the usual one in other terminals in the sector; that is, under the camera, but it is opted for a smaller reader and place it right next to the camera sensor.

It is not comfortable and dirtying the optics of the camera is one of the problems that users found. And apparently these complaints have come to fruition and the company has taken note of its next flagships: the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 +.

As it has become known, the Korean would have decided to go back and to bet again by placing the fingerprint reader on the front. Now, it would not be like the readers we have seen so far, but this new model would be smaller — and faster — than previous generations. But beware, because since SlashGear they also warn that this model could lead to a new wave of criticism of the company.

If we pay attention to this leak, The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + would not carry the reader under the screen as indicated weeks ago; It seems that Samsung does not arrive in time for this new generation of smartphones and would bet on implementing a model that would invade part of the screen leaving an "island" at the bottom of the screen. That is, what happens to the Essential Phone or on the iPhone X.

Let us remember that the latest generation mobiles are being models that do not have physical buttons and that lack frames. So if this rumor is true, Images on Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + screens may be cropped by this fingerprint reader.
