Finally this year a company that is far less popular in comparison to big tech behemoths like Apple and Samsung made them bite the dust. Vivo showed 'em all! This is the phone, the first one to have a fingerprint sensor integrated into the display.
The first phone to have the fingerprint sensor integrated into the display so it's
right in this area down here which is available to use as you would with any other smartphone display but when you lock the phone and you want to unlock it, it turns into a fingerprint sensor. It
works exactly like the capacitive fingerprint sensor you might have seen on Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S or whatever.
But the difference is the advantage now i.e. you have these ultra thin bezels top and bottom on the phone but you still have the fingerprint sensors right at the front where it used to be, and where for a lot of people, it should be if you have no bezels we have nowhere to put it. So a lot of companies have to come up with compromises. Samsung's solution was to put it on the back for way over here on the side which was terrible ergonomically. Apple's solution was to just forego touch ID entirely on the iPhone X . Neither of them was really ideal there were many reports the Samsung and Apple trying to integrate it into the display itself under the OLED panel and that's exactly what Vivo has done here with the help of Synaptics.
Synaptics is a well known public San Jose, California-based developer of touch-pads for computer laptops, touch-screens, mp3 players, cellular phones and other devices. It describes itself as a human interface solution developer. Synaptics' core product families deliver touch sensing, display and biometrics solutions. They include touchpads, touch controllers, fingerprint sensors and integrated solutions.
People is the first company to introduce this it's very likely that there be others following on for the rest of the year in 2018 and it's really impressive it's exactly it works exactly as the usual
capacitive fingerprint sensor does but it's just integrated into the display. It feels a little bit magical because you're using display as you would on any other phone but when you lock the phone and you're trying to unlock it you put your finger on it and it authenticates you.
It does the usual biometric authentication its optical like the previous stuff now this only
works with OLED panels because it's optical and there's a Synaptics sensor down here the bottom which looks through the OLED dots this wouldn't work with an LCD because that requires a backlight which would block that recognition so you only be able to find this on
smartphones with OLED displays coming up in the rest of this year.
The only difference relative to the usual fingerprint sensors is this one seems to be a little bit slower it isn't quite as lightening for us there's something like you would get on the previous iPhones or
the OnePlus 5T and so on but it's tolerably slower it's not something that really slows you down. Even though it's not terribly well known globally Vivo is actually one of those biggest smartphone
manufacturers owing to a lot of success in China and India. This is the company to first come out with this Synaptics integrated fingerprint sensor solution. There'll be a whole bunch of others
joining it as we go for the year 2018.
The phone, Vivo X20 Plus, at CES is very close to the final product it It has an aluminum unibody no fingerprint sensor in the back because obviously it's integrated into display itself and it has a
headphone jack so a thumbs up for that. but I'm confident of the technology itself once you try it is something that a whole bunch of people are going to want and like in part because it's so futuristic feeling you know it's a technology that used to be on a discreet separate piece of hardware now integrated directly into the display is seamless and it's kind of beautiful.
