The Galaxy S9 probably does not get a fingerprint sensor in the display: The Galaxy S8 discussed the position of the fingerprint sensor. This is located on the back right next to the camera. The successor should not change this - at least not fundamental. The reason for this is the iPhone 8 .
According to analysts at KGI, the Galaxy S9 has a fingerprint sensor on the back, as reported by 9to5Google . However, this does not mean that this is again next to the camera. It is possible that Samsung listens to the feedback of the customers and chooses a more ergonomic position, for example, below the camera in the middle of the smartphone.
Samsung is deliberately forgo a fingerprint sensor in the Galaxy S9 display. The manufacturer has no reason to take the risk of using the technology befo
re it is possibly mature. According to the analysts of KGI, Samsung is not in a hurry, since also the iPhone 8 does not have a fingerprint sensor in the display. The South Korean manufacturer instead aims to use the Galaxy Note 9 technology, which is expected to be launched in autumn 2018.
Whether the analysts with their forecast for the Galaxy S9 are correct, we will probably learn in the spring of 2018, if the presentation is expected. First, Samsung will unveil the top smartphone Galaxy Note 8 . According to rumors, the fingerprint sensor for this model is located in the same place as the Galaxy S8. Whether this rumor is true, we soon learn: On August 23, 2017, Note 8 will be presented to the public.
