Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor Generation 2 works great with foldables

The second-generation in-display fingerprint sensor called its 3D Sonic Gen 2 has been announced by Qualcomm today. There are several in-display fingerprint solutions in the market but Qualcomm chooses to be ultrasonic and this very special the feature uses the sound waves in a user’s fingerprint to scan for 3D features.

To promote Samsung’s Galaxy S10, Note10, S20, and Note20 series 3D Sonic Sensor, Qualcomm’s first generation was introduced but the presentation and the quality of being reliable were a little disappointed and highlighted at times. Unlike other optical in-display solutions from the Chinese OEMs like OnePlus and Huawei, the reliability, validity, and speed issues with the first generation was very much and due to this most of the people switch to more reliable and great optical solutions.

 One the main reason for the limitations of the first generation sensor was that the activation area was quite small which leads to difficulty in finding the scanner. So, this very time the Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor 100% assures to the users to be 50 times faster and 77 times larger. The new sensor will be 8 x 8 mm which allows to pick up 1.7X more biometric information as compared to the first generation scanner that was 4 x 9 mm. The thickness of the scan area of the new sensor is only 0.2mm which enables the in-display scanners chances on the flexible body of the foldable devices.

Users are super excited this year if this is about Samsung’s foldable in-display scanners.

The announcement also has been made by the Qualcomm that the second gen 3D Sonic Sensor will introduced in the smartphones in “early 2021”. On the other side Samsung may introduce this new sensor in upcoming Galaxy S21 series which is expected to be introduced within a week.
