Samsung has filed a patent for a pressure-sensitive, in-glass fingerprint sensor.The company has filed a patent application for implementing a pressure sensitive fingerprint sensor inder the display.As per the report, the patent is called “Electronic Device for Supporting the Fingerprint Verification and Operating Method”.The combination of the fingerprint sensor along with a pressure sensitive sensor allows it to make a distinction between 'normal' screen touches and a specific action to use the fingerprint sensor.The current crop of Samsung's flagship devices, namely the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and the Note 8 only feature a pressure sensitive home button behind the display.KGI Securities' Ming Chi-Kuo stated that the Galaxy Note 9 will be the first smartphone from the South Korean company to feature a fingerprint sensor embedded within the display. He also adds that BeyondEyes and Samsung LSI are the two suppliers, and both have already shipped part samples to Samsung Electronics.Apple was initially tipped to launch the iPhone X with an under display fingerprint sensor. However, the company instead decided to forgo TouchID entirely in favour of its FaceID tech.
