This is not exactly great news for Galaxy S10 users. But again, how many times has someone broken into a phone using a 3D printed fingerprint, right? It’s still possible, though.

While the Galaxy S lineup of smartphones is more solid it has ever been compared to past releases, there are a few things which raises an eyebrow when you look at the current S10 lineup. For example, the decision to skip out on a Face ID-like biometric authentication method completely. Also, the decision to bake the fingerprint sensor under the display is an odd one. While the latter is obviously a good move in the eyes of a consumer but it does have its tradeoffs.
