The fingerprint recognition area is 10 times larger than that of the previous generation, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max

CTOnews.com, November 25, news that Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra will use Qualcomm's third-generation ultrasonic fingerprint reader. However, it is not clear at this stage whether it will be equipped with the 3D Sonic Max sensor announced by Qualcomm earlier this year or the fingerprint sensor customized by Samsung to Qualcomm.

CTOnews.com learned that Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max has a surface area of 20mm x 30mm, almost 10 times the size of the 3D Sonic Gen 2 (8mm x 8mm) scanner used in Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

At present, the iQOO 9 Pro and vivo X80 Pro launched by domestic mobile phone manufacturers have been equipped with Qualcomm 3D Sonic Max. It is five times more accurate than 3D Sonic Gen 2 and can hold two fingers at the same time to improve security. It even supports one-click fingerprint registration, which greatly reduces the process of registering fingerprints.
