The budget Galaxy S10 might adopt a side-positioned fingerprint scanner

Well, the regular Galaxy S10 and the S10+ are expected to be like that, but you might have heard that a third Galaxy device could be in the cards. It's vastly rumored to be a flat-screened budget variant that could also be smaller than its more premium brethren. As you've likely heard by now, their displays are expected to sport Infinity-O piercings that 

Being a budget device, the Galaxy S10 Lite (no confirmation it will be called that) wouldn't feature an in-display fingerprint scanner. Instead, a fingerprint scanner positioned in the power button on the side. Samsung has already debuted a device with such a hardware setup, namely the Galaxy A7 (2018) which we recently reviewed. 

This rumors comes from Twitter user @BenGeskin who is popular for his design mockups and renders, but also occasionally dabs into leaks as well. Judging from all the rumors we've heard about the budget Galaxy, this rumor sounds totally plausible as far as Samsung's cost-cutting possibilities are considered.
