Samsung decided to take inspiration from solutions that companies from the Middle Kingdom have been using in their smartphones for some time now – it’s about the ultrasonic fingerprint reader built into the device’s display. Undoubtedly, this is a great solution that makes using a smartphone easier (try unlocking a phone with your finger in a more enclosed car mount where the reader is placed on the back), while not taking up space on the front of the device. However, some services have reported that tempered glass will not work with the fingerprint reader built into the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus. Are you sure?
Tempered glass for Samsung S10 and S10 Plus. What to choose?
One solution to the problem is to use protective films. And many users opt for this solution – due to the cost and ease of installation. There are also people who do not need outstanding protection, and for them, the film is an excellent choice – many of them can “self-heal” in the case of minor scratches. But what about users who don’t like compromises and want to have the Galaxy S10 screen protected by a glass pane?
Versions of protective glass have appeared on the Internet that decided to address the problem and “offer” a hole in the place intended for the fingerprint scanner. It sounds and looks comical, but using a Samsung Galaxy S10 equipped with this type of tempered glass would quickly stop being a funny curiosity and become a nuisance and torture for the finger – if you don’t know what I’m talking about, imagine typing on a keyboard and adjusting your fingertip to the keys located on the edges of the hole.
However, not to paint the world in such gray colors, we have information for you – manufacturers we work with have decided to create accessories that will not have any unsightly holes and will be fully compatible with the fingerprint scanner in Samsung’s new flagships. We’re talking about brands like WhiteStone and T-Max, specializing in the production of protective glass, for which UV-cured adhesive is used for installation. Users of the aforementioned brands’ products are satisfied and consistently emphasize that it is one of the best solutions when it comes to protecting smartphones with curved displays.
WhiteStone declares that it uses advanced Liquid Optical Clear Adhesive (LOCA) technology, which is designed to prevent the formation of micro-spaces between the bonded smartphone and protective glass. Thanks to this, the finger sensor can easily detect pressure and read fingerprints. And the brand T-Max, which is a subsidiary of Guangzhou Doho Digital Technology Co., Ltd., announced that it will use Panda glass with a thickness of 0.2mm, which is supposed to be the optimal value in terms of protection and usability of the ultrasonic scanner. It seems that everything comes down to the adhesive – as WhiteStone presents – micro-spaces with ordinary adhesive glass are normal, and UV adhesive spreads and fills all pores and imperfections that are problematic for the fingerprint reader.
