Over the past few years physical fingerprint scanners on phones have dwindled in number. Barring a few exceptions, the best phones have swapped them out for more advanced options. Either some kind of facial recognition, like Apple’s Face ID, or under display fingerprint scanners that are all the rage on Android phones.
Physical fingerprint scanners are few and far between these days. Those that do exist tend to be hidden in the power button rather than their own standalone component. They also only seem to exist on the best foldable phones, which can’t support under-display fingerprint scanners, or cheaper models that can’t justify the price increase of that particular upgrade.
