Today's report comes from a known Samsung insider and seems to describe a technology that's already been rumored for the Galaxy Note 20 range. The aforementioned claim about speed should, in practice, allow users to unlock a Galaxy S21-series smartphone by simply tapping on its screen instead of pressing it. Not to mention that the larger sensor area should also reduce the number of failed unlock attempts.
In the grand scheme of things, perfecting in-display fingerprint readers is still a pretty substantial part of Samsung's pursuit of fully bezel-free smartphone designs. Combined with under-display selfie cameras, Samsung may finally reach that goal in the near future. What remains to be seen, however, is how quickly this tech trickles down to Samsung's non-flagship products.
As for its next flagship family, the Galaxy S21 series is expected to launch a bit earlier than usual. We should hence know everything there is to know about it come January, following yet another online-only Galaxy Unpacked event.
