Front-facing fingeprint may return to the Galaxy S9 as a display notch

It seems Samsung is experimenting with different ways they can include a fingerprint sensor on the frontside of a phone with an infinity display. A new patent shows an idea that would put a notch into the display ala Essential Phone and iPhone X.

Well they could turn the bottom into a black bar on either side of the notch, rendering it not really part of the display. That would make it seem like the old hardware home and capacitive keys outside the display.
