The Samsung Galaxy A13 has its fingerprint scanner sensor on the side.
This information aligns with details available, such as a reference from August 16, 2022, which confirms the sensor's placement.
Locating the Fingerprint Sensor
Unlike some smartphones that might have the sensor on the back or integrated into the display, Samsung chose a side-mounted design for the Galaxy A13.
- Typical Placement: On the Samsung A13, the fingerprint sensor is commonly integrated into the power button. This button is usually located on the right side of the device frame.
- Ease of Use: This placement allows users to unlock the phone simply by gripping it naturally and pressing the power button with their thumb or index finger.
Benefits of a Side-Mounted Sensor
Integrating the sensor into the power button offers several advantages:
- Ergonomics: It's often a natural position for unlocking the phone as you pick it up.
- Clean Design: It keeps the front and back of the phone free from a dedicated sensor area.
- Accessibility: Easily accessible for both right-handed and left-handed users, depending on grip.
To use the fingerprint sensor, you typically need to register your fingerprint in the phone's security settings. Once registered, a simple touch or press on the power button area will unlock your device.
