Why trust Greenbot
Synaptics has confirmed that its mass producing in-display fingerprint sensors, and that the top 5 OEMs will be taking advantage of that technology.
Now, Forbes has a look at the first smartphone that will introduce an in-display fingerprint reader in a smartphone. In this case it was a pre-production model, as Vivo hasn’t announced the upcoming smartphone just yet. In the hands-on time, the in-display fingerprint reader was revealed to be fast and simple enough to use, much like it worked when it was in a standard button.
In an effort to save some battery life, the in-display fingerprint reader will only be activated when the user needs it. When it does, the user will see an image of a fingerprint on the screen, and it will disappear when the fingerprint is recognized and authenticated.
The most important bit is that the in-display fingerprint reader works as well as an owner would need it to, and that was in a pre-production model. Hopefully the technology in the final models, from Vivo and other manufacturers, are just as powerful and stable when they launch to the masses.
