While Synaptics isn't saying exactly which shortlyhoped-for-appear tier-1 phone volition embed its latest biometric scanner, in that location are earlier reports that suggested that Samsung's 2018 flagships might send with such applied science, and Synaptic'southward cryptic press release has now virtually confirmed those earlier rumors.
