we know almost everything on the Galaxy S10, Samsung's 10th anniversary, and Samsung is happy to leak of the full range. But what Samsung would rather not know is the biggest upgrade of the range comes with a big problem … & nbsp;
A new video leaked by MobileFun points out the problem: Samsung's world premiere Ultrasonic fingerprint reader with ultrasound screen does not work with screen protectors. Plus, the only successful workarounds look ugly or expensive.
The MobileFun video illustrates the old one. The popular accessories retailer shows that the only solution for standard screen protectors is to drill them around the new sensor. This sounds terrible and also goes against the intended purpose because it exposes a significant (and crucial) part of the screen to damage.
As for the expensive option, it comes from the manufacturer of premium screen protectors Whitestone, who said 9to5Google when launched, it will have the only protector compatible with the ultrasound scanner of the Galaxy S10. It will cost you $ 60.
Why is the workaround so expensive? Because it requires a very different method (and more delicate) to adapt a protector to the screen.
Whitestone explains that the problem is that no trace of air is allowed between a screen protector and the Galaxy S10's ultrasonic sensor, something impossible to achieve with a simple application of the standard protector. Instead, Whitestone uses a liquid adhesive that 9to5Google has tested and turned out to be a "long installation process".
The good news is the results are impressive if you get a proper setup but at $ 60 for a two pack (individual packs are not available), it's not something you would not want to mess up more than once.
It is currently unclear whether Whitestone's method can be reproduced cheaply and whether precision liquid installation process is likely to put off some buyers anyway.
Which creates a bigger problem because the Galaxy S10 is going to be the the most expensive model Galaxy S ever and with its Ultrasonic player cooked in the display, these are screens that you do not want to crack.
As such, the greatest weakness Samsung's new entry-level Galaxy S10e can now become his greatest strength …
