The technology works by sending an ultrasound pulse against the finger, some of which is absorbed and some of which is sent back to the sensor through details such as pores that are unique to each fingerprint. This allows the reader to collect additional depth data, resulting in a very precise 3D fingerprint copy, thus ensuring greater accuracy.
Samsung is reportedly developing the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor itself and will use it not only in smartphones but also in other devices such as home appliances, smart home devices and even cars.
It is too early for the South Korean giant to reveal when it is going to unveil Galaxy S10, however, there are already the first speculations that the flagship could see the light of day in January at CES 2019.
