CES 2018: Vivo and Synaptics demo the first fingerprint sensor on an OLED display

One of the most significant announcements at the show comes from phone maker Vivo and Synaptics which enables a fingerprint reader to work on a smartphone's OLED display.  This means smartphones can have thinner bezels and still offer fingerprint security. Demos from the show floor proved that Vivos solution reads fingerprints through the display which can be used as a normal display.

Placement of a fingerprint sensor has been a tricky problem for smartphone makers. Some feel having it on the front makes the most sense, while others relegate the fingerprint sensor to the back, which makes for a more natural fit for where your fingers land. As more smartphone makers opf for larger and bezel-less displays, they can now give users options of a fingerprint reader and another form of authentication like Apple's Face ID on the iPhone X.

The ‘OnePlus 6’ powered by Snapdragon 845 set to make June debut

Late in 2017, a rumoured list showing the upcoming devices that will come out with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor got leaked. One of the devices included there is the “OnePlus 6,” which was said to be launching in June. Now, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirms the news. Lau said they have “no other choice” when it comes to picking what processor to use for the upcoming device. While he hasn’t called the device the OnePlus 6, logic dictates that will be what the company will call its upcoming device. The launch is supposedly happening late in the second quarter, which ends on June 30. We can’t also confirm if a “6T” version is coming, but judging from what the company has done in the past couple of years, the possibility is there.
