Vivo smartphone with in-screen fingerprint scanner

Availability and pricing TBC www.vivo.com

A smartphone with an in-screen fingerprint scanner was a hotly rumoured product in December after Synaptics announced the company had figured out how to embed the technology into a screen. But instead of the big names picking up the tech, it was Chinese phone company Vivo that grabbed it, announcing the world’s first smartphone with an in-display fingerprint scanner at CES. The handset itself doesn’t break any new design grounds but rival manufacturers won’t be far behind, trying to launch their own devices with this groundbreaking tech.
