Finger print sensor on the back of the phone

user8uHe7ewpM5 — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 00:41:17 GMT

I just upgraded from the Galaxy S9 to the Galaxy S23 (I know, I know. It was looong overdue, my phone was real old. Lol). I'm of the mind "if it ain't broke... " with that being said, I really miss the old design! IDK if I'm the only one, but I loved having the finger print sensor on the back of the phone. I love the way you can slide your finger down it to drop the notification menu. Now with the finger print sensor being on the screen I know have to drop down the menu by sliding my finger down the the top of the screen. It's not that big of a deal but I just prefer the sensor on the back. So, Mr/Mrs. Samsung, if you happen to read this, please consider returning that function to us, PLEASE! And thank you.

I've just upgraded to the S23 Ultra from the note 9 and I keep catching myself looking for the scanner on the back 🤣🤣

Sorry friend fingerprint sensor is not on the back anymore. It's on the front. I upgraded my phone from s6 edge to s23 ultra. S23 ultra is great phone, but my note 20 ultra is better.

Fold 4 has its fingerprint sensor on the power button and is not an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor you see on the S series. Therefore it has those functionalities that the other flagship phones with in display fingerprints dont have

Actually you can change the settings for bringing down notifications by swiping down anywhere on the screen.

I agree with you about the fingerprint sensor. The under display fingerprint sensor kind of suck. They have gotten better but the sensor on the back of the phone was in a perfect place, was much more accurate. Unfortunately due to the larger camera sensors there just isn't room anymore and I think it also has to do with water resistance that has improved.

What Samsung needs to do is implement an under display infrared face id scanner so we could have true secure face unlock without a huge pill cut out like Apple or bezels. Until then it is going to be under display fingerprint sensor.

I got my s23 a out a month ago..I know why did you wait..well I hate getting a phone and not knowing ALL the reviews and not the ones that are all pro samsung...I like the REAL reviews this way I know what phone I'm getting ..I also don't upgrade every year..I upgread usually every other year..my last samsung was a s21 ultra...im glad I didn't get the s22 ultra ..I didn't really hear good reviews about it...this phone however is way different...the longer I took in buying it tge better the reviews..the one thing I'm upset about is that my store didn't have s23 ultra 512gb I settled on the 256gb..I mean it's all good but I love taking pictures..watching YouTube and other movie apps...other than that I'm extremely happy with the choice
But I do agree with you about the fingerprint..I do think it was a mistake putting it on the front soley..I think you should have an option..for front or back...
I'm just waiting for hair DNA testing. Or scanning your retina...lol... give it time...I say by s30 if not sooner
