Samsung One UI 4.1: Fingerprint Recognition, know the unknown aspects!
Samsung One UI 4.1 Fingerprint recognition is one of the very important features of Samsung smartphones. It is necessary for you to keep registered and update your fingerprint information on your device.
Samsung has done a lot of improvement in the field of fingerprint recognition, and regular updates to its One UI ecosystem and the biometric recognizing sensors make it outstanding. Started it is a journey from providing the sensors at the home button to the middle of the top-spec touch display.

How to Register fingerprints?
Follow steps:
- Open Settings
- Tap on Biometrics and security
- Jump on the Fingerprints
- Move forward to set a screen lock method
- Place your fingers on the recognition sensor provided at the bottom middle of the display, or at the home button.
- After the device detects your fingerprint, uplift your thumb or selective finger again until the sensor recognizes the impression fully. (You are eligible to register multiple thumbs and fingerprints)
- When you finish registering, tap on done.
You can immediately check the fingerprint, by clicking on Check added fingerprints.
Unknown aspects
Many of you might be using the fingerprint unlock feature regularly, but you do not know some of the important aspects, which I am going to tell you, let us begin with the first one.
- Sometimes your sensor is unable to recognize your fingerprint. This is because it uses unique characteristics to recognize each fingerprint. So if two fingers seem to be identical it would not recognize any of them. So keep your fingerprint updating during a certain interval of time to utilize it properly. I am saying this because I have tried it myself.
- The thick protection film you are using to protect your display may sometimes create a problem. Check for the compatibility level other than easily getting scratches and dust accumulated between those scratches, better to buy screen protectors from Samsung.
- Even after applying for fingerprint protection, you cannot use it for the first time when you turn on your device. To unlock you can use only your PIN or Pattern unlock. This is done to ensure the safety of your device. I found this feature to be a caretaking one.
- Do not change your unlock method to Swipe or None. By doing this all of your Biometric data will be lost.
- If you face any problems after re-registering your fingerprint and still having issues with your fingerprint recognition you can reset your device.
What to do for better fingerprint recognition?
Take care of the following things:
- Check your thumb or finger whether they are clean and free from dead skin tissues
- The scanner might not respond to small or thin fingers
- Use the finger on the scanner, by which you often perform tasks on your smartphone
- Make sure your fingerprint detection area is clean and scratch-free (do not keep coins and other scratchy things in your phone pocket)
- Do not bend or keep your fingertip on the unlock scanner, instead rest whole your finger or thumb on it.
I have examined most of the difficulties which the users face during fingerprint recognition and unlocking. If you find them useful, then you should use them and if you have any questions you can share them with us.

Samsung could launch the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone next year. The company has collaborated with LG Uplus to develop a custom smartphone. The device is said to feature Galaxy AI and LG Uplus’s AI call assistant ixi-O.
Sources citing KEDGlobal revealed that Samsung and LG Uplus working together to develop the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone. It’s a big development in the smartphone industry, while the handset is highly likely to be Korea-limited.
Samsung fans are well aware of the Galaxy AI feature suite. ixi-O is an AI-powered digital assistant developed by Korean carrier LG Uplus. The company plans to enter the smartphone market, featuring its own-developed AI assistant.
The report indicates that Samsung and LG Uplus’ ixi-O AI Phone will launch as early as next year. The development project focuses on crafting a “real AI phone” that goes beyond simply integrating AI assistant services into a smartphone.
ixi-O comes with useful features such as AI call answering, detecting voice phishing in real-time, recording and summarizing phone calls and converting voice conversation into text – all within an on-device environment.

Based on specifications, the Galaxy ixi-O AI Phone will be based on a Galaxy phone available globally. The design will match with a global Galaxy smartphone, but the software may be tweaked as per the carrier’s requirements.
A custom Galaxy phone isn’t shocking or impossible in South Korea. Samsung releases Quantum, Buddy, and Jump-branded phones in the market. The company collaborates with Korean carriers to bring these devices to mainland Korea.
The carrier introduced an on-device AI-powered ixi-O assistant earlier this month. LG Uplus will initially target its consumer base for the new AI Phone. However, the AI Assistant may be expanded to a broader audience across Korea.
Samsung could use Gauss2-based Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The company’s next-gen Generative AI model is 1.5 to 3x faster than the first-gen Gauss model. The DX division is already using Gauss2 to ramp up internal productivity.
Gauss2 offers improved performance and efficiency in simultaneously handling various data types. In the previous article, we’ve demonstrated its three distinct models that cater to different purposes: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme.
Samsung says the second-gen Gauss model offers equal or superior performance in response generation than leading open-source generative AI models. That said, the Galaxy AI will become faster and smarter with the inclusion of Gauss2.
Thanks to faster processing speed, Gauss2 enables quicker AI response generation. This way, the Galaxy user won’t have to wait much time. The company stated that it will continue to expand the reach of its AI-based services across all product lines.
That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is likely to boast Gauss2-based Galaxy AI. This upgrade will result in even faster processing of tasks and execution. Features like composition, image generation, and translation would benefit from Gauss2.
Earlier, we broke the news that Samsung is crafting an advanced AI technology. The Gauss2 press release indicates that the future Galaxy AI iteration could be integrated with knowledge graph technology to offer relevant results.
The Galaxy S24 series also uses Google’s Gemini Nano AI model. The fruitful collaboration offers futuristic capabilities on Galaxy devices. Samsung is rumored to use an enhanced version of Gemini Nano across the Galaxy S25 lineup.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s development may have indulged Gauss2 capabilities on the Galaxy S25 series. Integrated with new processors and optimized software, the company’s AI model would offer faster, reliable, and smarter results.
