#advanced fingerprint sensor

Qualcomm just announced new advanced fingerprint sensors at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017. The successor to the previous generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Sense technology, the new Qualcomm Fingerprint Sensors will be using advanced ultrasonic sensors. The list of features for these sensors includes scanning through OLED displays up to 1.2mm, 0.8mm of cover glass, 0.65mm of aluminum, underwater fingerprint match, and device wake-up. Qualcomm Fingerprint Sensors work both as integrated solutions for Qualcomm Snapdragon, and as standalone sensors for other platforms. Qualcomm Fingerprint Sensors for Glass and Metal are expected to be available for testing to manufacturers this month, with Qualcomm Fingerprint Sensors for Display being available to them in the fourth quarter of this year. Rumors indicate that Xiaomi is moving away from the optical in-display fingerprint scanners used in previous models and adopting more advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensors for all three models. With a few months remaining until the launch, more details about the fingerprint sensors and other features are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
