Upcoming competitors for Samsung’s iPad Pro are set to come with some powerful specs and features, but it looks like the smaller model might lose some features. According to a new report, the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S7 will not have a fingerprint sensor on the screen.
Last year’s Galaxy Tab S6 was one of the first tablets with an in-display fingerprint sensor, and it was also one of the first Samsung devices to use an optical sensor. It is reasonable to assume that the successor to that product, the Galaxy Tab S7, would continue with the same feature.
According to a recent spec leak from the Tab S7 +, that bigger tablet will use an in-display fingerprint sensor. The 12.4-inch screen will use a fingerprint sensor underneath, but it’s still unclear whether it will be optical or ultrasonic, like the company’s flagship phones.
SamMobile It says the 11-inch model won’t follow, however. That model of the Galaxy Tab S7 will use a nested capacitive fingerprint sensor with the power button. It’s also not the first time for Samsung tablets, as the Galaxy Tab S5e uses the same type of sensor. It was also previously present on the Galaxy S10e.
Why the change in technology? Presumably, it is a matter of cost. Capacitive sensors are traditionally cheaper, although it is still strange that there is so much disparity between the two Android tablets. Whatever the case, the Tab S7 series should be made official in the coming weeks.
