      -Sense ID is a platform, not a sensor (when will people learn!)
      -A few month ago the ultrasonic sucked big time in the leeco phone.
      -would xiaomi put this in their flagship 6 month later?
      -fingerprint cards has a fully working under glass sensor.
      -xiaomi was first with using fpc glas button sensor.
      -fpc is said to integrate this under glas sensor in the second half of 2016.

      The picture above showing sensor embedded in the glas is from AGC, working with fingerprint cards as far as i know.

      Still QC ultrasonic?

          I'm guessing you're one of the ppl shorting FPC stock and are tired of FPC:s success in delivering the best sensors.

                you don't know because you don't have lol, i'm kiding

                i guess 3gb is enough

                  Monti, 15 Sep 2016Actually these sensors and stuff do not attract my attentio... moreLet me ask you a question. Do you need a smaller ram in your everyday use smartphone? How much is free out of 1gb ram iphone for example? Out of 6gb, half of it will be free at least. Ram don't affect battery performance, phone performance(not that much except more multitasking can be done), or even the price of the phone. So, you want a $500 phone with 1gb ram or $500 phone with 6gb ram? Is there really a need to argue and ask silly things like these?

                    No iOS devices don't need more than 3gb of ram .. You know why. They cant even multitask lmao.. Discussion ended.

                      Monti, 15 Sep 2016Actually these sensors and stuff do not attract my attentio... moreAny properly set up Android/Linux device will use all the ram you give it. These systems operate differently then most people are used to, and the more ram you give them the happier they are. Commonly used apps are partially pre-loaded into ram so that starting and switching applications is very fast. A few manufactures limit how much ram can be used like this, or end users download/run ram boosters because the are uneducated.

                        It's about time Qualcomm steps forward. I am so tired of Fingerprint cards domination on the flagship devices. Specifically because of their (suspect) former CEO who is accused for different things.

                          Actually these sensors and stuff do not attract my attention, l still use PIN on iPhone instead of touch ID.
                          My question is, do we need 6gb of RAM in everyday-use smartphone? And persons who used a phone with 6 GB ram, in the task manager, how much RAM is usually free out of 6???

                            Wow. This is a very impressive achivement ..... from Qualcomm. I hope that other major manufacturers like Lg, Samsung, Apple, and HTC would consider this on their next flagship. I wont buy a Xiaomi smartphone because they had like zero customer support in my country.

They were the first to push out all the features SD800 and above made available for cameras(Focus Peaking, Omnifocus etc)they even made them available on the much older Mi3.

                                Using sense id does not mean it will also use qualcomms fingerprint sensor, this is a common mistake on News sites.., that is not the same thing. Also it is HIGHLY unlikely their sensor would ever cover the whole screen, it is already too expensive to produce normal sized compared to competition today. I believe the sensor they will use is from FPC and not qualcomm. Or is there anything in that image that imply qualcomm? except 'sense id' which is no proof.

                                    Hopefully they will manage better than LeEco with Le Max 2. It was not that good from the beginning. It's strange though because the fp scanner on Le 1s is much faster than on my Le Max 2 that has QC fingerprint tech...
                                    Maybe Xiaomi will manage to make it work as it should be.

                                        The specs on this phone are to die for (except screen size), and of course it is Chinese only.
