Optical sensors look at your fingerprint, whereas the S10’s sensor actually listens for it-which is pretty slick.
But the S10s use ultrasonic tech instead of the optical sensors used by others. And since it scored a measly 3 out of 10 on our repairability scorecard, you definitely need a screen protector-and probably a case-on this phone.Īfter years of shipping phones without screen protectors, why did Samsung suddenly feel the need to install the screen protector themselves? The two new flagship Galaxies come with a fingerprint sensor built into the screen, which isn’t completely new-the OnePlus 6T and a few other phones have beaten Samsung to it.

This was rather nice of Samsung to include because you can’t install just any screen protector on the S10 or S10+. The new Galaxy S10 and S10+ are now splayed out in all their glory, and before we even pried them open, we noticed an interesting new feature: pre-installed screen protectors.
