Samsung Galaxy S10's in-display fingerprint sensor could come from two sources

Samsung Galaxy S10 has been in the news for a while now and is expected to come with a bunch of interesting features, the highlight being its in-display fingerprint sensor. Samsung is also rumoured to showcase its Galaxy S10 line-up at the February 2019 Mobile World Congress. As for the in-display fingerprint scanner, a new report suggest that the scanner will source the hardware for the scanner from two suppliers.

As per previous rumours , Samsung Galaxy S10’s infinity-o-display has also been reported to be in production. The report in DigiTimes also states that GIS and O-film tied up with Qualcomm for developing ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor technology. GIS is supposed to have a high yield rate in production and O-film is stated to have high production capacity at lower production cost. The companies making the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint technology for Galaxy S10 are apparently vying for a contract to supply the sensors to Apple’s iPad line-up. Given Apple’s ongoing battle with Qualcomm, this might be very unlikely.
