That said, some users have posted videos like the one above showing that it\u2019s possible to unlock an S10 by placing a specific kind of gel case on top of the sensor, even on a phone with freshly registered fingerprints, essentially allowing these gel cases to act as a sort of master key.<\/p>\n<div id class=\"js_ad-mobile-dynamic js_ad-dynamic ad-mobile-dynamic movable-ad bxm4mm-4 liWXlp\">\n<div class=\"ad-unit ad-mobile bxm4mm-5 eZvXLs\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 hJpRRP\">The unfortunate thing for Samsung is that ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors like the one in Galaxy S10 are generally regarded as being more accurate and secure than optical in-display fingerprint sensors like the ones used in the <span><a class=\"sc-145m8ut-0 gaHZkC js_link sc-1out364-0 fwjlmD\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/oneplus-7-pro-review-stunning-all-screen-design-thats-1834738811&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/oneplus-7-pro-review-stunning-all-screen-design-thats-1834738811\">OnePlus 7 Pro<\/a><\/span> and <span><a class=\"sc-145m8ut-0 gaHZkC js_link sc-1out364-0 fwjlmD\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/oneplus-7t-review-a-refreshing-reset-of-expectations-1838479053&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/oneplus-7t-review-a-refreshing-reset-of-expectations-1838479053\">OnePlus 7T<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 hJpRRP\">At launch, some Galaxy S10 owners complained that the phone\u2019s in-display fingerprint sensor was a bit too sensitive, which sometimes required users to tap their fingers on the phone\u2019s screen multiple times in order to unlock the device. This later prompted Samsung to send out a patch that adjusted the sensitivity of the S10&#8217;s fingerprint sensor and made unlocking the phone easier, but it may have also been the cause for this phone\u2019s recent issue with silicone covers.<\/p>\n<div id class=\"js_ad-mobile-dynamic js_ad-dynamic ad-mobile-dynamic movable-ad bxm4mm-4 liWXlp\">\n<div class=\"ad-unit ad-mobile bxm4mm-5 eZvXLs\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 hJpRRP\">So remember, if you\u2019re really concerned about people hacking into your phone, maintaining physical security of your gadgets is still a crucial way to protect yourself. And if you see people walking around with suspicious-looking gel pads, you might want to keep on eye on them too.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
