Noted today, Vivo had a conference in China in which it announced its 4th-generation in-display fingerprint technology. It Additionally noted a new tech called DSP Acceleration, in collaboration with Qualcomm.
The 4th generation in-display fingerprint technology is said to be 40% faster than the previous gen what is found in the Vivo X21. It Additionally unlocks faster under shiny light – taking only 0.35s to unlock the smartphone. The fresh fingerprint sensor is said to be present in the newly announced Vivo X23 upper price range phone. It has a large F/1.5 aperture and a 720dpi ultra-high resolution.
Vivo Additionally worked with Qualcomm on a new project called DSP Acceleration Tech to make in-display fingerprint scanners work faster and better whereas maintaining a high-security level.
Speaking at the event, Qualcomm’s Senior Director of product management, Tim Yates, said the fresh technology operates with the Snapdragon 670 which brings a 1.8x increase in performance after compared to the Sd 660. The chipset Additionally comes with the Hexagon 685 DSP what is at the heart of the tech. This is the exact same DSP in the Snapdragon 845.
The DSP is faster at processing neural tasks and fingerprint data after compared to the Chip. By allocating the task of unlocking the phone via the fingerprint digital camera to the DSP, the data is processed faster which means the smartphone is unlocked faster. The Hexagon DSP works with Qualcomm’s Trusted Execution Environment on the Chip for security and the result is DSP Acceleration Tech what is up to 3x faster than when it is just the CPU handling the task.
Vivo says DSP Acceleration Tech will roll out as an improve to the Vivo X23 in October. It will increase the unlocking speed of the fingerprint camera by up to 30% especially in conditions after the temperature is low and the fingers are dry or in conditions where there is powerful direct light.
Vivo says it has been hard at work since it debuted the in-display fingerprint sensor on the Vivo Xplay6 last year and it has applied for more than 140 patents relating to hardware and software of the technology, making them a leader in the industry.
Vivo unveiled the initially commercially in the world smartphone with an in-display fingerprint sensor, the Vivo X20 Plus UD in January of this year. At MWC 2018, it showed off the Vivo APEX which has an in-display fingerprint scanner that covers up to 40% of the display.
Its 2nd gen fingerprint tech launched with the Vivo X21 and the 3rd gen in-display fingerprint technology what has a 40% higher picture accuracy than that of the Vivo X21 debuted in the Vivo NEX. Its latest, the 4th gen fingerprint tech unveiled with the Vivo X23.
