Synaptics CLEAR ID FS9500: here is the sensor ” below ” to the display
Clearly, main attraction of new Vivo X20 Plus UD is undoubtedly the sensor for reading fingerprints located below the Super AMOLED display. In this case, new chip was developed by Synaptics, and we had seen it some time ago already in action at CES in Las Vegas right on new Vivo of which the name and specifications were not yet known.
The sensor located below Clear ID FS9500 display will allow users to unlock the device within 0.6 seconds which is actually more or less triple the time taken by common fingerprint sensors.
In fact, the new technology allows to ” hide ” the sensor and to maximize the display surface in such a way for users to have even more space for viewing multimedia contents without having any bar at bottom of smartphone.
Price and availability of the Vivo X20 Plus UD
The new smartphone of company Vivo, first with a fingerprint sensor below display, was presented for the moment only for Chinese market, at a price of 3,598 yaun.
I wonder, if at this point other manufacturers, OnePlus in first place, will integrate this new fingerprint sensor in their smartphones of the future.
