  • With nowhere left to turn, we boldly take our chances removing these delicate displays. Once inside the S10, we spot the new ultrasonic fingerprint-sensing getup.

  • Qualcomm QBT2000 Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor Controller

  • This is old tech for bats and dolphins, but a smartphone using sound to read your fingerprint is pretty cool, if we're honest. (Courtesy of Qualcomm.)

  • The tech may be novel, but our praise ends there. We threw just about everything we could at this little guy and it is not coming out intact.

  • If Samsung has any repair tips they'd like to share, we're all ears. For now, assume you're going to pay an arm and a leg for a new screen should the sensor malfunction.

  • Other ICs:

  • Samsung S6SY771X Touchscreen Controller

  • Winbond W25Q80EWUXIE 8 Mb Serial Flash Memory
