BLUBOO acquires in-display fingerprint technology


Bluboo S2

We have seen the world’s first phone with the in-display integrated fingerprint scanner revealed yesterday at CES 2018 by VIVO using the Synaptics sensor, but that’s not necessarily the end of the race of the current obsession with this design tech.

And seems like even smaller brands are much closer to the final implementation of this tech than we originally thought. According to the internal report BLUBOO engineers made a groundbreaking progress with their own solution to the in-display fingeprint scanner and it should be already applied very soon to the new 2018 models, BLUBOO S2 and BLUBOO S3.

It remains to be seen how the new in-display fingeprint will shake off the emerging Face ID attack, but BLUBOOS have even one more ace up their sleeve. The new BLUBOO S2 will  be using a 21MP Sony IMX230 rotated camera as you can see in the title picture. So the front will be fully reserved just or the 5,99-inch OLED screen. Looking pretty neat, right ?

    Can someone please explain me if there are technical problems about removing the bottom bar? Is it really that difficult?!

      no its just the cheaper manufacturing process. Have a chin or forehead allows for the process to not waste as much material. When you’re designing a slim bezel phone you expect some defects and waste due to breaks in the process. Thicker bezels simplify the process. It also houses the extra room for the charging port. You have to remember that 6 inch phones used to take up 8 inches of space. Now its taking up 6’5 inches. This difference is cramming a lot of things into a small area. So the chin houses sensors, ports and other things.

    I’m doubtful but hopefully too, people give small brands a bad name when they copy designs but it makes sense business wise , when big brands get the “molds” done invest the R&D and gets mass production done and prove demand then the little guys get a chance
