Who would have tell that Vivo would be the first to achieve this. Not even the Samsung S9 will have this feature lol. Sammy what’s the matter with you?

    Congrats vivo. That is quite an interesting piece of tech.
    IMO for the good of customers, its better that its not always say sammy or apple to be the first in new things as it creates more competition. Sony is a special case... the marketing is non existent so doesnt shake the market when it comes up with something new xD

As the other guy mentioned, vivo product is just to test the waters. After that Synaptics/Samsung/Apple will use the perfected product in their year end flagships. Samsung/Apple may have had some reservations about this tech and vivo became a medium to overcome those. Testing this tech in vivo products is lot easier than doing on Samsung/Apple flagships.

                  They shouldn't have had this technology instead, or maybe let all OEMs use it so that at least one of them could improve it.

                          "The security will be the same level as the current scanners that are seen in flagship devices such as vivo X20.."

                          I thought vivo X20 is upper midranger, while Xplay series are vivo's flagship line?

                              Just wtf. They're nothing. They keep selling overpriced products (just like Samsung and Apple). Leave under screen fingerprint reader to good brands such as LG or Sony. What is vivo? Even the name is garbage.

                                Actually vivo is the 5th largest mobile manufacturer.

I am sure that this would have some certain (un)intentional issues so that both of the mentioned companies with strongest marketing could release their "improved" version and get all the praise, as always.

                                    Can’t believe Samsung got overtaken by Vivo. They wanted to use it in the S8 but failed, so did the latest Note. Now Vivo got it right? Really strange by Samsung. Fingerprint scanners on the back are quite universally hated.

                                      Unbelievable that one of the small brands vivo invented this technology first :-O Btw, great one vivo!

                                        Great technology, would Luke to see more devices with it
