Samsung’s popular range of Galaxy phones are known for being some of the very best smartphones to run Android. As such, it’s understandable that rumors regarding the upcoming releases in the family are eagerly churned out. Which rumors about the Galaxy S10 are the loudest, and which are the most likely? Today we’re rounding up some of the rumors surrounding the upcoming Galaxy phone!
3D Facial Scan
Sources have reported that the newest Galaxy phone will forego the iris scanner in favor of a full 3D face scan. If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly what Apple’s Face ID is. Samsung seems to be gunning for its American rival with their newest phone. The rumors around this Samsung face scan indicate that if the technology isn’t ready by the time the Galaxy 10 is set to ship, it will continue to use the iris scanner instead.
In-Display Fingerprint Scanner
A feature that was supposed to be in the Galaxy S9, the in-display fingerprint scanner is rumored to be appearing in the S10. Chinese smartphone makers Vivo and Oppo have been pushing the limits on in-display scanners, and Samsung isn’t a company to be outdone. Interestingly, Apple chose to forego this avenue of technology altogether in favor of Face ID technology. Samsung, on the other hand, is pursuing both. While that may seem redundant, perhaps they’re looking to cover all potential bases.
No Phone Notch
Rumor has it that Samsung won’t follow the industry trend of the top phone notch. Instead, they’ll opt for very thin bezels on the top and bottom of the front display. The thin top bezel will house the camera, speaker and other technology that is usually housed in a phone notch. The presence of the bottom bezel is disappointing, but in leaked renders the phone still looks quite slick. However, if all these rumors are to be believed, Samsung might just have an iPhone X-killer on their hands. If they can deliver a phone with 3D facial scanning, an in-display scanner and a powerful processor, they’ll be poised to dethrone the iPhone.
