Based on the latest news, Samsung 2019 mid-range and high-end models are going to equip the UD fingerprint sensor next year. Check out the story below!

Samsung equips UD fingerprint scanner for mid-rangers in 2019

According to the reports, the fingerprint sensor emerged from South Korea revealing who will dominate the market next year. In details, Qualcomm and MediaTek-owned Goodix are the two key players working with the biggest smartphone manufacturers in 2019. From what we learned from the industry insiders, Qualcomm has already won orders for ultrasonic FP sensors. Besides, Samsung would equip it for the midrange and high-end Galaxy models.

Moreover, the shipments would be scheduled for late 2018 and early 2019, which is hardly a surprise. Whereas, the Korean manufacturer is ditching the iris scanner. Previously, the Chinese manufacturer vivo was the first company to introduce such a sensor by Synaptics. As we learned, Qualcomm combined its mobile AI enablement centre in Taiwan with the resources of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor lab in California.

Besides, the cooperation with Taiwan TFT panel makers to lower the production cost of an under-display fingerprint scanner. Whereas, Goodix Technology is likely to dominate the supply of fingerprint sensors for Android-based smartphones in 2019. Also, the adoption of fingerprint sensors is for new-generation smartphones launched in 2019. Moreover, those smartphones drive IC design houses in greater China. In details, the houses include Egis Technology, FocalTech, Elan Microelectronics, Novatek Microelectronics, China’s Goodix and Silead. Also, all the sensor module processed on glass panels for lower production costs.

Conclusion

As we learned, Qualcomm has won orders for its next-generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensors to support the latter’s new midrange and high-end Galaxy models for 2019. As we mentioned above, the shipments are set off in late 2018 or early 2019. Overall, the development of niche-type fingerprint ID chips for financial cards and industrial, home and automotive applications.
