  • Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical-based fingerprint scanner.
  • This comes after unofficial claims that the phone has an ultrasonic scanner.
  • An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is faster, more accurate, and works with wet fingers.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 FE last week, and it brings a couple of notable upgrades. We also heard rumors that the phone would have an upgraded in-display fingerprint sensor, but there’s some bad news on this front.

Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical in-display fingerprint sensor rather than an ultrasonic scanner. This comes after rumors that an ultrasonic scanner was in the works. It also comes as a couple of outlets and retailers erroneously listed an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
