Vivo is first in line for Qualcomm's in-screen fingerprint readers
Qualcomm unveiled its in-screen fingerprint
tech and it already has its first customer – vivo. The company brought a
working prototype to MWC Shanghai with two sensors, one below the AMOLED screen
and one on the back (below the metal surface).
In theory, the whole display can be turned
into a giant fingerprint reader, though there’s probably no need for that.
Still, the bottom of the display will be able to read fingerprints, which would
allow the company to shrink the bottom bezel to nearly nothing.

Check out this concept video below (and note
that the prototype shown off today isn’t nearly as sleek). Of course, the
company didn't say when to expect the first production phone with this tech,
but the Snapdragon 660 and 630 chipset already support it (it seems that 835
does not, but 836 surely will).
