Today at CES 2018, vivo has finally showcased the world’s first ready-to-produce ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanning smartphone. If you are already aware, so far, no smartphone brand has achieved this yet and this makes vivo the first to do so. In other words, vivo has deliberately solved the industry's challenge of providing a better and convenient security authentication experience for future smartphones.

Even with the introduction of face recognition security, most users still prefer using the fingerprint recognition as it's the standard biometric security for smartphones. As the industry steadily moves into a new era of full-screen displays, vivo can now take advantage of it with the in-display fingerprint technology, without sacrificing the user experience.

“With our efforts in extensive consumer research and long-term R&D investment, vivo is well positioned to pioneer the development of fingerprint scanning technology. We first presented a prototype of our fingerprint scanning solution at MWC Shanghai 2017 based on an ultrasonic sensor, and have remained committed to realizing our vision for future smartphones,” said Alex Feng, Senior Vice President of vivo.

“Today’s showcase of a ready-to-produce in-display fingerprint scanning smartphone featuring an optical fingerprint sensor is a big leap forward in bringing consumers this long-awaited, futuristic mobile experience. We are very excited to make it available to consumers soon.” he concluded.

Supported by global partner Synaptics, the technology supports various usage scenarios beyond unlocking the smartphone - from performing an unlocking to mobile payment and other operations. When fingerprint recognition is not required, the fingerprint user interface will be invisible and will not disrupt the overall visual experience.

Currently, the in-display fingerprint scanner is already in mass production and the availability will be announced in early 2018. Stay tuned for more CES 2018 news at TechNave.com.
