The world's first phone with an
in-display
display fingerprint sensor is
here
For years, rumors have
circulated about companies
like Samsung and Apple
attempting
to integrate fingerprint sensors
into
their
smartphones’
displays — and now someone’s
actually gone and done it.
Vivo,
a
major
Chinese
smartphone brand owned by
the same
company behind Oppo and
OnePlus, has announced the
X20 Plus UD, the first ever
smartphone to ship with the
technology.
The phone is the result of
collaboration between Vivo
and Synaptics, the US-based
sensor maker. We tried out the
in-display fingerprint sensor on
a pre-production phone at
CES 2018 earlier this month,
and it ended up winning our
Best in Show award. You can
see it in action in the video
below.
The demand for in-display
fingerprint sensors has grown
as phone design evolves in the
direction of slimmer bezels and
screens taking up almost all of
the front of the device.

phone with an in-display
fingerprint sensor is here .
Some
companies,
like
Samsung and Google, have
gotten around this by placing
the
fingerprint sensor on the rear
of the phone, which can be
less convenient; Apple,
meanwhile, engineered its
Face ID system on the iPhone
X so that it could abandon
fingerprint
authentication
altogether.
Vivo’s X20 Plus UD is a
pretty straightforward device
beyond its fingerprint scanner
— in
fact, the regular X20 Plus
came out last year and had
the sensor on the back. It has
a
6.43
6.43-inch
2160 x 1080 18:9
OLED display with slim
bezels on the top and bottom,
dual
12-megapixel
cameras, a
12
Qualcomm Snapdragon 660
processor, and a 3,905mAh
battery.
The X20 Plus UD is only
being released in China for
now, with preorders set to
open
today. No word on pricing just
yet.
