The Galaxy Note 9 is going to be the first phone from Samsung to get the Synaptics fingerprint sensor that can be incorporated beneath the phone’s screen. While we all thought the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ would be the first devices to get this change, but it turns out that another one of Samsung’s competitors is going to get this scanner, and no, it is not going to be Apple or Huawei for that matter.

Vivo revealed earlier this year that it showcased a smartphone that would sport an in-glass fingerprint reader but there were very minute details provided on this handset. Thankfully, analyst Patrick Moorhead experienced a hands-on with the sensor, and if you look at the pictures, it is smaller than a coin, meaning that it will effortlessly be able to get obscured by the rest of the smartphone’s components.
