Samsung Galaxy S8 can be said to be the most anticipated Android flagship model in the first half of this year, and even some of its features may indicate the development of the industry. As the launch conference approaches, news about Samsung Galaxy S8 has gradually surfaced, such as the amazing screen-to-body ratio and innovative voice assistant, which are very worth looking forward to. However, what is surprising is that Samsung Galaxy S8 may cancel the classic front fingerprint button. For a long time, the debate about the superiority of front fingerprint and rear fingerprint has never stopped. Of course, the emergence of side fingerprint recognition seems to make the debate more complicated. From the products released last year, it can be seen that the front fingerprint design seems to be more popular, and more and more manufacturers are adopting the front fingerprint design. However, under such a background, Samsung went against the trend and canceled the front fingerprint button. Why? In order to obtain a higher screen-to-body ratio The advent of Xiaomi MIX has made the concept of full screen deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won the cheers of the market. It can be seen that consumers like products with high screen-to-body ratio. After all, high screen-to-body ratio can bring a strong visual impact. Whether watching videos or playing games, it can bring a new experience. Xiaomi MIX From the design drawings that have been exposed so far, it can be seen that the Samsung Galaxy S8 has an incredible screen-to-body ratio. The upper and lower frames of the front panel of the phone are extremely narrow, and a symmetrical design is used. This design makes the phone's appearance a step higher. However, the frame at the bottom of the phone is extremely narrow, so the fingerprint recognition module cannot be placed. Therefore, the design of the front fingerprint recognition can only be abandoned. Therefore, it can be said that the Samsung Galaxy S8 temporarily abandons the front fingerprint recognition for a higher screen-to-body ratio, which should be a choice with more advantages than disadvantages. Because the availability of the rear fingerprint recognition is not bad, it may not be wrong to sacrifice the front fingerprint for a higher screen-to-body ratio. Samsung Galaxy S8's exposed renderings reduce openings, three-proofing is improved In addition to increasing the screen-to-body ratio, canceling the front fingerprint has other advantages. Using a rear fingerprint can avoid reducing the number of openings on the front panel of the phone. It is conducive to product production and reduces costs. For consumers, fewer openings mean an enhanced integration of the phone, and an excellent visual and tactile experience. Another major advantage of reducing the number of openings on the front panel is that the phone can achieve better waterproof and dustproof performance. After all, fewer openings can prevent small objects such as water and dust from entering the phone. The three-proof performance of Samsung Galaxy series products has always been impressive. As for the extent to which Galaxy S8 can improve the three-proof performance, the editor is very much looking forward to it. In fact, the reason why Samsung Galaxy S8 cancels the front fingerprint recognition can also be used to explain why smartphones should cancel the front fingerprint recognition. Integration has always been the guiding principle of smartphone design. Removing the front fingerprint recognition can take the idea of integrated design a step further, making the phone more beautiful and more practical. With the advent of new technology, front fingerprint recognition may become history How will fingerprint recognition technology develop in the future? Can front fingerprint recognition be realized again while maintaining the above advantages? The answer is of course yes, and this trend is to integrate the fingerprint recognition sensor into the mobile phone screen. At present, fingerprint recognition technologies that do not require independent openings have been launched, namely ultrasonic fingerprint recognition and optical fingerprint recognition. Unlike traditional capacitive fingerprint recognition, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition and optical fingerprint recognition can both realize fingerprint scanning and recognition without openings, which is destined to be the trend of the future. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition is a way to determine fingerprint features based on the difference in echoes using the penetration of ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition does not require openings and can overcome the influence of sweat, grease and dirt. In addition, this technology is led by Qualcomm and was once considered to be the next generation of fingerprint recognition. However, the experience of several products equipped with ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology on the market is not ideal. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition does not require openings, but the penetration thickness is limited, and the current application is not very mature. Compared with ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology, optical fingerprint recognition has a smaller module size, better penetration performance, and can be designed at any position on the screen according to needs. At present, the optical fingerprint recognition module is expected to be mass-produced in the second half of this year, which also verifies the claim that Apple and Samsung's flagship products will adopt optical fingerprint recognition. I believe that soon, users will be able to perform fingerprint recognition in a specific area (or even any area) of the screen. Conclusion: It is foreseeable that with the development of technology, smartphones will eventually abandon all physical buttons. Removing the fingerprint recognition button may be just the first step. In the future, both the power button and the volume button will inevitably be replaced by touch. It is difficult to imagine what form smartphones will appear in the near future. So, let us look forward to it together.
