Has anyone else seen or read this? Could this affect the Note 10 & 10+ series?

Could this affect the Note 10 & 10+ series?
I have the factory installed screen protector on. I also have WSD screen protector which I haven't used. I was waiting until the original gets messed up.

I saw it in the news today. Some are speculating the thumbprint was on the glass and with the screen protector over the glass the residual fingerprint may be getting pressed onto the sensor. Samsung appear to be looking into this so we shall need to wait to see what transpires. It is certainly a potential safety breach so for now I have reverted to a PIN

The original article is from The Sun. That publication is pretty much the UK's version of the National Enquirer. It's a tabloid and is not known for reliable, or even factual, reporting.

The Sun I wouldn't even wipe my bum with

I would, but only if I can't get a hold of a copy of the National Enquirer.

 

[me just saying]

you would think a flaw like that would make all the major tech sites news. since it did not, imo,it is nothing to worry about.

May have been a slow news day !

I'm in the UK and do not read The Sun Lol.

Full of jank.

I doubt it would affect the Note series, seeing how most complaints are how their FPS with a screen protector doesnt work, lmao.

I'm fine with my WSD glass and Note10+. It works. Maybe not instantly like most say it does or should, and maybe not even 100% every time, but I really don't feel it's that big if a concern, as long as its keeping others out as it's supposed to.

According to today's BBC news any fingerprint will open the S10 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50080586

I got an update today with improvements to the fingerprint scanner, separate one from the October update the other day

Reuters (generally respectable) reported that Samsung directly acknowledged issues...

Hopefully resolved soon - I've been eyeing the Note 10+.

BBC, Forbes, and Reuters are all using the same primary source; The Sun, which is a tabloid and is about as reliable as the National Enquirer.

Hi

Just received this update now. So it is a issue which has been posted by Sammobile and various other tech sites.

Looks like Samsung are sorting it out hopefully

 

[j_hansen]

I should have added that mine is an Exynos unlocked European version

 

[bandofbrothers2112]

Yeah downloaded this update yesterday.

I'm in the UK using a N10+ 5G purchased from Samsung.

 

[evohicks]

Looks like you 5G guys are getting the updates faster than the 4G handset, nothing here yet.
