The Galaxy S23 Ultra will use Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor

As per the previous reports, Qualcomm revealed the 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor in December 2019. For unknown reasons, Samsung has not yet equipped it with its devices. But, a new report claims that the South Korean tech firm is planning to use this 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on the upcoming Galaxy S series device.

Let us tell you that the first manufacturer that use Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic sensor is Vivo and the first device of Vivo that got this sensor are the Vivo X80 Pro and IQOO 9 Pro. As per Alvin’s tweet, Samsung is planning to use Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic Max ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for the Galaxy S23 Ultra which will launch in Q1 2023.

In Qualcomm’s official description, it reads:

The Qualcomm 3D Sonic sensor uses evolving ultrasonic technology to read 3D features such as ridges, grooves and pores of the user’s finger, thereby constructing a very accurate fingerprint image, enabling mobile terminals to provide high-performance fingerprints security solutions.

Ultrasonic screen fingerprint recognition has the characteristics of waterproof, oil-proof, and liveness detection, and can penetrate the skin to collect and read characteristic data. As a result, the Qualcomm 3D Sonic ultrasonic fingerprint sensor can penetrate surfaces such as glass and metal for accurate fingerprint scanning even when the finger is wet.

Samsung is yet to confirm why it hasn’t used Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic Max in its flagship phones. Perhaps the main reason for this could be an increase in the cost. For Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung uses an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, but we haven’t seen a larger fingerprint scanner on any of Samsung’s high-end models.

Let this be today’s news but let us tell you that some internal information about Galaxy S23 Ultra has been leaked such as its model number, battery details, sensors and camera details.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra codename is DM3 and the model number of S23 Ultra is SM-S918. The device comes with a 5000mAh battery and uses a 200MP sensor which will blow your mind.
