N10+ Fingerprint scanner visible in sunlight or it's only screen protector?

Hi,
I saw today on a sunny day that the fingerprint scaner is visible in sun. It's only visible on a white background. Have you guys same effect? Maybe it's original film protector effect?

Cheers

Already been a thread on this. I can shine the light from my other phone and see it on a black /screen off state.

I cant find that thread? Kinda curious what the reactions are.

If it was visible all the time then there would be a problem, but having to meet certain conditions to see it, conditions I'm not likely to have happen, who cares?
No phone will be 100% perfect no matter what you pay. I'm happy with what I got. Could it be better, yes (I'm looking at the loss of the headphone jack), but I can live with it... If it was a major problem I'd go with something else, that's the beauty of choice...

It's known, nothing to panic. Look in the Samsung S10+ forum it's a whole thread on it. Nothing to worry about though ?

What kind of reactions are you looking for? It's no big deal, it's the technology under the screen.

I saw mine the other day. My screen is off and the bright direct sunlight just happen to hit it at the right angle and I could see the sensor. I thought it was kind of cool, actually. Haven't seen it since.

Lcd on means light passes though it. So the sensor is seen.
Its all normal.

The only problem is there is no LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), it's OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) and I can barely see it if I shine strong flashlight on blank screen, at specific angle and know what and where to look. It's seems to be under semi transparent screen, as it should. Never notice it until now.

Hmmm... mild reactions But with my phone it's more persistent.
I had my phone 20 mins in direct sunlight and could still see the sensor when i was inside for more than an hour... Not good.

Da heck is the point of this thread? What the OP has seen is normal for the design of the phone. Other people still commenting saying its “not good” are just trolling.

The fanboy is strong in this one.

If i see the sensor inside in normal conditions, its definitely not good. I was curious if more people have this. Apparently not that much and this persistent.

Wow, internet is a cool place huh.

The bigger problem is why the fingerprint scanner is on the screen instead of the back or use the power button. It makes no-look fingerprint unlocking very unreliable. Note 9 had a perfect scanner and placement.
