Is anyone else facing scratches on their huawei p10 fingerprint reader? I am and i was worried if it will affect performance. Can someone clarify?

There are micro-scratches on mine too. I'm only bothered when I stare at them for more than 5 seconds.
Same, I hope it doesnt impact performance and speed of the fingerprint scanner
I don't see any scratches on my sensor - although I'm an electrician and use the phone at work with dirty hands.

No scratches on mine.. after all this time..

Hello people!
My new xiaomi mi5 32Gb black has tiny rhombic grid on whole screen. How solve this problem? Replace display or maybe flash some other rom?(now installed 7.5.6.0 maacnde)
Before it, phone had issues with resolution of some picture miniatures in instagram and some other web sites, poor quality but after flashing its gone.
Mine has it too. It's not very noticeable sometimes, but under direct sunlight it becomes somewhat annoying. Some contacts of mine and I think it's the digitizer pattern, anyway I'd like some explanations.
Mi5 128GB here, the screen is the same by the way.
it's the digitizer pattern

yeah, most of people think that it is digitizer pattern, but I know the digitizer pattern not affect the quality, resolution so on. it can be seen on sunlight, but hardly notable in the room. And it is different.
I think it is just manufactere defect.
Nobody can explain this better?

How much more detailed of an explanation do you want?
It's the digitizer, ie the touch sensitive part of the touchscreen. The input.
I didn't read the part about it affecting the screen quality.. Because it shouldn't do that.
Sorry.
Samsung s10 is coming out with the ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Other manufacturers are using the time of flight face unlock.
Whats your preference and why? I like the potential of the new face unlock but there are fewer situations where the fingerprint reader is better. The only thing keeping me in the Samsung camp is their incredible screen. If only there was a manufacturer that has great displays with face unlock...
I prefer face unlock by far. It's the future and I don't understand why samsung has rejected it.
Samsung should have used a serious 3D face unlock in s10. Or even both 3D face unlock and ultarsonic fingerprint like huawei mate 20 pro.
My biggest concern about in-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is that "in- screen" part, you know glass screens do crack and break, how much $$$$ will they be asking for replacement if the sensor and the glass are not serviceable as two separate things but only as one, integrated unit.

Exactly my thought, a $1000+ phone should have both...
I prefer fingerprint reader mainly because with face unlocking you need to point your phone at your face which can get annoying.

Probably because its annoying to use, you always have to point at your face. If the phone is sitting on my desk 2 feet away how am i supposed to unlock it? Pick it up and point at my face? Using your finger to unlock it is just easier.
I highly doubt TOF face unlock is the "future"
Im going to have to agree with most in this thread. I use the Iris unlock because the film scratched away from my fingerprint sensor. Its horrible having to pickup my phone and look directly at it.
Using a Mate 20 Pro, accurate face unlock is much much better than an in-display fingerprint scanner, and from what I've seen the difference between ultrasonic and optical is not that big.

Exactly! I noticed the unlock speed of optical vs ultrasonic is almost the same. I rather have the 3d face unlock like on my mate 20.
How is the S10's fingerprint sensor reliability and speed after all the updates? My fingers keep sweating all the time and therefore standard capacitive sensors do fail to unlock phones most of the time. Recently I've tried the Huawei P20 (not Pro), and it's ultrasonic fingerprint sensor was blazing fast and super reliable no matter how wet my fingers were. I don't mind one in S10 being a little bit slower, but does it work nicely even with wet fingers? I haven't tried phones with optic sensors yet, but due to technology limitations, I expect optic sensors to be even worse than capacitive ones in case of wet fingers, whereas ultrasonic, like in P20 or S10 should excel?
My experience is pretty bad. I have dry hands so that might be why, but I absolutely hate it. On the 6T it was always accurate and fast, on the Note 9 it's the best, but the fingerprint sensor on my S10 makes me want to through the phone down a bottomless pit. It's the reason I regret getting the phone.
Fingerprint works fine for me. But when my fingers go dry the ultrasonic is not good. The work around I found is to rub my thumb before using the ultrasonic. Works fine. Other than, it's not super fast to unlock the phone but well I don't have much issue. The S10 recognize my fingers most of the time (dry finger is the culprit definitely)
50/50. It only works half of the time. Really bad.
So i did what i read, i scanned the same finger more than once, and did this with different orientations,
all in all works like charm, at least 9 out of 10
I received an update yesterday with the June security patch. Fingerprint sensor seems to have been improved again

i m still on May patch
I bought it with part reason that this scanner works with wet hands. Well it does....but overall the performance is quite bad. A short tap is all you need to get in,but it needs time to process before youre in. Takes like 1 - 1,5 seconds compared to 0.5 on other flagships. Besides this, it also fails to reconise my fingers a lot.
I only scanned one thumb since that's all I use so that may be the reason mine works 100% of the time. I can't remember the last time mine didn't read the first try.
For me, at start it worked 50/50. But when i added 2 times same finger i use (both thumbs x2) it works 100% of time. But still it could be improved with software.
Well, it seems like everyone's got totally different experience. I've seen that fingerprint sensor in S10 covers really small area, so you maybe have to place your finger very precisely into one spot, so that maybe one factor to consider. Hmm, I guess I'll have to try it myself, but based on your responses, it doesn't really seem to be sensor which meets expectations for flagship device.
Personally, I used to have mistakes because I didn't put my whole fingerprint on the sensor. Now I put my whole fingerprint on the ultrasonic sensor and it works like charm. With dry fingers, I need to put more pressure on the sensor so that the sensor can read my fingerprint properly. At the end I find the ultrasonic not so bad after all. I have 0% mistakes now. For the next generation of that ultrasonic I suppose they will improve the sensitivity of the sensor so that it becomes instantaneous.
Improvements After June Security Update
My personal experience is with SM-G9730 with OEM screen saver pulled off in frustration. I find that ease and reliability of entering fingerprints as well as accuracy and reliability of using fingerprint unlock is improved dramatically after June security update. I B happy!

The sensor itself is already pretty much instant. Give the sensor a slight tap and it will work. The waiting is because of the processing needed. A 3d scan needs a lot more processing to make sure its a valid fingerprint. So i can already guarantee the next samsung phone will do this faster due to a better processor.

The slight tap only work if your finger is not dry. Then yes it works and unlock instantaneously. What I mean is that the main limit of the ultrasonic is the dry finger situation. With dry fingers slight tap just don't work because the sensor doesn't recognize the fingerprint. That's why it requires to put some pressure on the screen so that the sensor can read the fingerprint. Anyway hope the next generation will fix it.

Oh so it's not my imagination, June update did improve the fingerprint unlock. I also have the same positive experience. It's way way better
If I do some yard work and don't wear gardening gloves then it doesn't work as reliably as it prior. Takes a few days until my skin on my fingers repair then the sensor works good again.

So I've had the S10 for a few days now. So far I can say fingerprint sensor is working very well with wet fingers achieving nearly 100% success rate. However, speed differs a lot from almost instant unlock taking about 0.5 sec to slow unlock at around 2 seconds. It is nowhere near the speed of fingerprint scanner in P20, but since it is in display, it is perfectly acceptable to me as long as fingerprint gets recognised reliably.

I can confirm this issue with dry fingers. It needs some real pressure if your finger is completely dry(which my is almost never) and takes some time to unlock.
All in all, it works good to me, with wet fingers nicely compared to capacitive scanners, which is not the case with very dry fingers, as it needs pressure and still can fail many times.
For me it's working fine..trick is you have to put the finger on the right spot

Hi everyone,
I just bought a RhinoShield impact protection for my zenfone 8. However, as far as I know, all devices or most of the flagship Android devices now have a "pre-installed" plastic screen protector. Now, I'm trying to scratch off mine to remove it before I put my impact protection however I can't seem to see that there's one. I'm afraid that there's none and scratch the main screen itself.
Can anyone confirm if there's a "pre-installed" plastic screen protector for our Zenfone 8 devices before I put my sharp knife and tools to try and remove it.

aw sheesh. thanks for confirming, I'll apply the impact protection now then.
Just wanted to add that you should brace yourself for pretty awful performance of the fingerprint scanner after installing the screen protector. I basically had to stop using it. I really miss the times of fingerprint scanners on power buttons

They fit quite okay (a bit too short in width, but that's okay with me)
It is foil, not glass, so the fingerprint sensor may be working properly. I would like to have a glass that does not affect the sensitivity of the sensor ...
Hi, since the pixels suffer from lens flare, have you ever tried to put an anti-reflection glass on the cams? Could it work? I just don't know where to buy this type of glass
It isn't the best idea, since the "glass" that really matters is on the top of the sensor's surface, not the external glass we could touch.
sorry, I thought it was really what could be changed ... ok I tried ... thanks for the information

Lens flare is supposed be a problem with the misalignment of the layer between the sensor.
Nothing we could fix much..
that is, is it a construction problem between the sensor and the lenses?
However, I did a search and there are "homemade" methods, which explain how to make an anti-reflection coating. Maybe if it can work, I'll test it on my Xiaomi mi9t and publish the results
