Unlike the previous fingerprint scanners of older Galaxy models and other non-Samsung phones, the S10’s fingerprint sensor works by using sound waves being reflected from your skin. This makes it more effective in detecting your finger through grease, water, dust, lotion, or when there’s too much light. This high tech sensor can take a 3D image of your finger, detecting the valleys and ridges of your skin, in order to identify it. The way this works is by allowing the sensor to capture electrical signals from your skin when you touch the glass. The unique layout of your skin makes it easy for the sensor to recognize your finger.
In general, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is way better than the previous capacitive fingerprint sensor. What you must do first is to set it up so you can start using it on your device. If you’re wondering how to do that, follow the steps below.
These are the steps to begin adding your fingerprint on your Galaxy S10:
- From a Home screen, swipe up or down from the center of the display to access the apps screen.
- Open Settings app.
- Tap Biometrics and security.
- From the Biometrics section, tap Fingerprints. If prompted, enter the current PIN, password, or pattern.
- If presented, tap Continue and select a lock screen option (e.g., Pattern, PIN or Password) then follow the steps to complete the process.
- If prompted, tap continue to register your fingerprint by swiping your fingertip down over the sensor to scan. Repeat this step as necessary until the process is complete.
- Tap Done (lower-right).
- Tap the Fingerprint unlock switch to turn on.
- That’s it! You have now set your Galaxy S10 to unlock the screen using your fingerprint.
NOTE: You can add up to 4 fingerprints on your device.
