IMPORTANT-I can see fingerprint reader hardware when phone in direct sun light!!!

[Jewels81]

I noticed it for the first time today at work outside. I was like what the heck and then I remembered this topic and was good, I'm not the only one. Lol.

Thanks for confirming guys. Glad I didn't have a busted unit. Bad design on Samsung's End. But it is what it is. Doesn't show away from direct sun light.

Bad design??? How so??

well, not really surprising, and yet... not sure I like the idea. it's been raining here. today's the first sunny day and I'm on puppy duty.

I have exactly the same issue. It is just the in-display fingerprint sensor! You do not have to worry for defect unit at all!
By the way guys...note 10+ is an amazing phone!

I agree Don't worry about the FPS showing. The S10+ was the same way. I also agree the 10+ is an amazing phone.

Well crap, the rectangle piece under the screen that makes the finger print reader is very very visible in direct sun. I was typing outside in the sun today and was clearly able to see it through my Gboard keyboard (white color).

I then started placing other light color objects and it is so easily noticable. Even on the AOD I can see it too if you look closely in direct sun light.

Please see pictures below and someone confirm if they see the same issue on their devices. You can only see this in direct sun light. Any shade and you won't see it.

Aaannd this is important...why?

Yes I saw it too. Was walking from Chick-fil-A and noticed it. Definitely can see it good in daylight but I haven't noticed in any other lighting.

Did you get enough Chik-fil-A for all of us?

Okay, I'll be searching for Waldo too...

Actually you can see that on a dark Samsung theme, try a dark theme from Samsung thats not pitch black, try it with a dark instead which is a color theme grayish, then go to device care check SOT then click let say device idle icon in there now look at that spot tell me if you see it there, you have to look very closely.

It wouldn't show up with a screenshot. You need to take a photo with a camera.

No one is going to see what you are seeing if it is something hardware wise from your screen. A screen cap won't capture that lol .

Yes i noticed on photo you can't really see it in dark mode cause photo quality i guess when taken, but if someone tries without taking screenshot they should be able to see it, you can barely see thought.

Lol did you try it thought or am i imagining this hehe.

 

[Casey Cheung]

I had my screen under direct sunlight but couldn't find anything. I'm not going to bother.

No, I don't even own the phone. I just know that's not how screenshots work. A screenshot shows only what the graphics chip is trying to send to the screen, not what's going on with the hardware at the screen. The same holds true for a damaged screen with color bleeding. Take a screen shot of that and it'll look perfect as well.

This does concern me some, because the phone I'm looking to get has an optical fingerprint reader in the screen too.
