Well, maybe. Usually flagship phones gets the best (most expensive) chips. Budget phones gets knock-offs.
It depends on which fingerprint hw/sw the phone is using. There are about 4 large players in the phone fingerprint chip space that have 90 percent of the market. Fingerprinting is heavily patented so all four vendors have their pros and cons. A few dozen small players competing about 10 percent of the market. They probably don't do much of it.

Sounds pretty fascinating.

Just do an internet search for "fingerprint liveness detection". Google Scholar has enough reading for a night or two.
