Vivo One of the major smartphone brand in the world is innovative and always do crazy stuff. From The most thin smartphone to rumored under display fingerprint sensor  vivo  is quite good. But after rivalry to other Chinese folks like oppo and xiaomi vivo is quitely cold in the market.

Vivo is said to use a 0.7 mm CMOS image sensor underneath OLED display to read fingerprint. The analyst used Clear ID on pre-production vivo smartphone, explaining how it works.

In terms of the security, Vivo also clarified that Synaptics has built-in a separate encryption module to the Clear ID sensor while also allowing the hardware to interact with the phone’s processor for authenticating the fingerprint. Developers are provided with the option to add a secondary protection at authentication stage.

The company also joins the elite list of the smartphone brands who are said to feature a in-display fingerprint sensor. The last time when i heard about that it was S9 from Samsung. But the situation are directing that vivo will be the first smartphone brand to do that.

“The OLED display illuminates the fingerprint, the sensor scans it and sends it back to the phone’s processor (or host or application processor, depending on your preferred term) to be matched,” said Analyst Patrick Moorhead . The report reads. Synaptics claims the method is twice as fast as 3D facial recognition for unlocking the device. The sensor is also scratch proof and waterproof.

Here's some tweets from Analyst Patrick Moorhead.

Synaptics figured out what no other hardware technology company could, which was to mass produce a secure, under-display fingerprint reader. We’ll see these first on Vivo smartphones, hope to see this tech on Samsung, Apple, Moto, LG, others.

Here are some pics @anshelsag and I took of the Vivo smartphone with the Synaptics in-display fingerprint reader. The CMOS image sensor is .7mm thick and reads the fingerprint right through the OLED display. The experience was faster than I expected.
