Samsung Galaxy S10: Detachable screen protector, in-screen fingerprint scanner

Samsung will reportedly supply a “detachable screen protector” with the Galaxy S10.  Evidently, the screen protector will cover the phone’s side edges, and it could come pre-installed. Moreover, the Galaxy S10 series is said to feature Qualcomm’s second-generation ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The Investor claims that the latest generation solution will make it faster to unlock the device compared to the current implementations seen on the devices like Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Vivo Nex. Keep in mind that only two high-end models will feature an ultra-sonic fingerprint scanner, while the Galaxy S10E will come with an optical fingerprint scanner.

All three Galaxy S10 devices are expected to come with slim bezels and a punch hole design. We might also see a triple-camera setup on the Galaxy S10 series and either Qualcomm Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9820 chipset.
