I have been using the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner featured in Galaxy S flagships for the longest time and honestly cannot experience using something else. However, with the foldable devices, Samsung has decided to stick to the ever so trustworthy side-mounted, capacitive fingerprint sensors and while they are old, they do work really, really well and accurately. A new tip now suggests that Samsung is not making a change to this with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4. > According to a report from BusinessKorea, Samsung did consider adding an in-display fingerprint sensor to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, however, the South Korean giant decided against this tech and went back to the side-mounted fingerprint sensor that has become a commonplace on these foldable devices.
