Galaxy Note 9 should not arrive with fingerprint reader under the screen

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, one of today's most renowned analysts, Samsung's next top-of-the-line smartphone, the Galaxy Note 9, should not come with an under-display fingerprint scanner.

With the arrival of the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus and its "conventional" fingerprint reader, expectations of change have shifted to the brand's next big launch, namely the Galaxy Note 9.

Kuo believes that Samsung's phablet won't come with such a feature, which reinforces recent rumors about the device. The analyst says that even if the technology is promising, it may not be considered safe enough by Samsung.

It is worth mentioning that the company has its own mobile payment system, which is used by the military and the government. Thus, the company's need to present a safe method in the use of biometrics.

The analyst also says that he prefers the traditional fingerprint reader to Apple's facial recognition. For him too, none of the in-display technologies seen today managed to reach the standards shown by Samsung.
