VIVO unveiled the world's first smartphone with an on-screen fingerprint scanner at CES 2018


The first phone to have integrated fingerprint sensor inside the display. When you look at the phone and you want to unlock it, then the display turns into fingerprint sensor. It works exactly like the capacitive fingerprint sensor you might have seen on iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, but the difference and the advantage now are that you will still have the fingerprint sensor right at the front where it used to be. If you have no bezels on your phone, then the company have no way to put it, so a lot of companies had to come up with compromises. Samsung's solution was to put it on the back of the smartphone whereas apple solution was to just focus on the touch ID and face unlock entirely as the iPhone-X.

There might be companies who might be trying to integrate the touch ID inside the display under the OLED panel and that exactly what Vivo has done here. Vivo is the first company to introduce this and is very likely the other companies would be following on for the rest of 2018 as it is very impressive. It works exactly as the usually capacitive fingerprint sensor does but it's just integrated into the display. When you look the phone and you are trying to unlock it, you need to put your finger on it and it authenticates you, it looks magical. It does the usual biological authentication, its optical like the previous stuff and now this only works with OLED panels because its optical and there is a Sypantics sensor down the bottom which looks through the OLED dots. This will not work with the LCD because that requires a back-light and it blocks that recognition. So you will only be able to find this on smart-phones with OLED display coming up in rest of this year. The only difference relative to the usual fingerprint sensor is that it would be a little bit slower.

This company is the first to come out with its Synaptics integrated fingerprint sensor solution but I'm confident that there would the whole bunch of others joining as a go for the year 2018. It has aluminum unibody and no fingerprint sensor in the back because obviously, it has integrated fingerprint sensor. It also has a headphone jack so thumbs up for that. This being VIVIO's next flagship having this brand new kind of futuristic technology.
