Qualcomm just announced its second generation in-display fingerprint sensor that improves on the previous generation sensor in every way. The new sensor offers a larger area and a faster unlock mechanism.
The newer generation sensor includes a larger surface area measuring at 8mm x 8mm, compared to the 4mm x 9mm in the previous generation. Meaning this would make it easier for the sensor to recognize the finger as the surface area of the sensor is improved. According to Qualcomm, the newer sensor has 77 percent more surface area than the previous generation. Qualcomm promises that scanning a fingerprint to unlock a phone will go 50 percent faster with the 3D Sonic Sensor Gen 2.
