Fingerprint Scanner Under Display: Qualcomms new Sensors

Qualcomm’s New Fingerprint Sensor Works Under Glass, Display, And Underwater

According to Qualcomm, the new fingerprint sensor gives the option of working under the display, glass, and metal. This will give the manufacturers a flexibility of placing the fingerprint sensor in vivid positions. The sensors are equipped with Ultrasonic technology that helps in penetrating the sound waves through glass and metal until the material is too thick.
The new fingerprint sensor of Qualcomm can scan through up to 1200 μm of OLED display stacks, while the fingerprint sensors for glass and metal can scan through up to 800 μm of cover glass and up to 525 μm of aluminum. The Qualcomm’s new fingerprint sensor supports IP68 waterproof devices and this allows it to be used under the water.


Vivo and Qualcomm have displayed a modified version of the Vivo X6 Play smartphone which uses the Qualcomm’s new fingerprint sensor for Display Technology at Mobile World Congress Shanghai this week. Along with the new fingerprint sensor display, Vivo also released a video explaining the upcoming smartphone which is still unnamed and uses the new fingerprint sensor from Qualcomm.
The smartphones with the new fingerprint sensor will surface in the markets by 2018 as there will be a series of testing that will be conducted before it is made commercial.
"It would be interesting to see that what Apple does in their new iPhone 8 with fingerprint scanner"

Samsung India Says Sold 1 Million Tizen-Based Z1 Smartphones Since Launch

Image
After making a poor first impression in India since its launch in January, the Samsung Z1 seems to be doing reasonably well. Samsung India Electronics on Tuesday announced that it has sold a 'record' 1 million units of the Tizen-powered smartphone in the country. The company added it managed to achieve this milestone in less than six months since the launch. Samsung Z1 is the company's first smartphone to run on its Tizen operating system. The company has previously used the operating system on its Gear smartwatches, and televisions. Samsung had first unveiled a Tizen-based smartphone in June, the Samsung Z, but never did release it in its launch market in Russia - saying it was indefinitely postponed.

Xiaomi vs Micromax: A tale of two smartphone brands

Image
The smartphone market is one of India’s fastest-growing business sector, and an increasing number of consumer electronics brands want a slice of the action. A number of players, both domestic and foreign, have entered this market in recent years with varying degrees of success. There’s no denying that the arrival of Chinese smartphone makers in particular has had a huge impact on domestic brands like Micromax and Intex. Companies that once dominated in terms of market share are now struggling to retain a foothold in this increasingly crowded space. To get a clear idea of how Chinese manufacturers have impacted the Indian smartphone industry, we have compared the market records of leading players from both nations: Xiaomi from China and Micromax from India. According to market research firm IDC, the Redmi Note 4 by Xiaomi was the highest-selling smartphone by volume in the first quarter of 2017, shipping 1.8 million units.

HTC Desire 826 vs HTC Desire EYE: first look

Image
HTC did what it should have a long time ago, and moved its 4 MP UltraPixel snapper at the front, placing a more orthodox 13 MP camera at the rear of the newly-announced Desire 826 . We just took it for a spin, comparing it with HTC's original idea for a selfie-oriented handset, the Desire Eye, and found quite a few differences. Design The phones sport a largely similar design concept, with matte plastic unibodies that are very comfortable to hold, and rounded corners with a colored separation rim around the sides. The Desire 826 is, naturally, the larger, harder to handle phone, due to the increased screen diagonal, but the difference is not that crummy, since both are pretty big phones anyway, thanks to the embedded BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, requiring that you work them with both hands pretty often. The Desire 826 is notably heavier than the Eye, though. Display With a 5.5" 1080p display, the Desire 826 returns a slightly low...
