One of the highlight features of the Samsung Galaxy S10 is its ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, which lets you unlock your phone by placing a finger on the phone's screen. But how well will that fingerprint sensor work after the phone has been used and abused? Now we know.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 was put to a durability test by JerryRigEverything, and part of the video focused on the device's in-display fingerprint sensor. After scratching up the part of the screen where the in-display fingerprint sensor is, it was found that the sensor worked just fine, recognizing a fingerprint every time with no issue.
Things were different when the screen was cracked, though. When the area with the in-display fingerprint sensor was scratched up in a way to simulate being cracked, the fingerprint sensor stopped working.
In general, the Galaxy S10 held up well to being abused. While both the glass front and back as well as the aluminum sides side show scratches, the overall build is solid and experienced no flex or glass separation when pressure was applied to the front and back of the phone in a bend test.
Flagship smartphones are expensive gadgets, and the Galaxy S10 starts at $899.99. Because of that, I'm sure lots of folks that are interested in the S10 or even pre-ordered one are pleased to see that Samsung's new flagship fared pretty well in this durability test. When it comes to the Galaxy S10's in-display fingerprint sensor, we know that Samsung is including a screen protector in the box, but those of you that choose to discard it don't have to worry about the fingerprint sensor having issues if your screen gets scratched in day-to-day use.
