2. Vivo X20 Plus UD
The Vivo X20 Plus UD was the first smartphone to sport an in-display fingerprint scanner, thanks to a partnership with Synaptics. It was shown off at CES 2018 in January this year.
The specs weren’t flagship grade but they weren’t meant to be, since Vivo primarily wanted eyeballs on its new fingerprint sensor. Vivo X20 Plus UD sports a 6.43-inch Super AMOLED screen and is powered by the Snapdragon 660 SoC, coupled with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. There’s also a 12MP+5MP dual rear-camera setup and a 12MP selfie shooter on board.

Launched as the successor to Vivo X20 Plus UD, this was the Chinese giant’s first mass-market device with an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Vivo X21was the device that introduced this novel biometric tech to India.
Vivo X21 (known as Vivo X21 UD in some markets) features almost the same specs as its predecessor. The device sports a 6.28-inch Super-AMOLED display and is powered by the Snapdragon 660 SoC, paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.

4. Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design
This elegant device, as Porsche Design calls it, debuted alongside Huawei’s P20 series and included not just a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the rear but an under-screen one from Synaptics as well.
The Huawei Mate RS was an over-the-top offering, with an exuberant price, but that’s also what helps it stand out among the clutter of phones. It featured a 6-inch OLED screen and was powered by Huawei’s in-house Kirin 970 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. It also hosts a triple-camera setup, similar to P20 Pro’s on the rear and a 24MP selfie shooter.

5. Vivo Nex
Vivo has been the most aggressive adopter of this technology and the Vivo Nexfeatures the third-gen in-display fingerprint sensor. It’s one of the most innovative phones, with an Ultra Full-View display and pop-up front camera, and the internal specs were also flagship grade.
Vivo Nex sports a 6.59-inch AMOLED display and is powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB storage. There’s a 12MP+5MP dual rear-camera and 8MP pop-up selfie camera in tow, which is yet another step towards the ‘reduce the bezels’ mission.

6. Mi 8 Explorer Edition
As the in-display fingerprint sensor trend started to catch heat, Xiaomi didn’t want to be left behind and included Synaptics’ Clear ID in-display fingerprint sensor into its higher-end Mi 8 Explorer Edition smartphone. It also featured a clear back, similar to the HTC U12+, but it didn’t show the real internals.
The Mi 8 Explorer Edition, however, packs flagship-grade specs and the power within is real. It features 6.21-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED screen and is powered by the Snapdragon 845 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

As you can obviously see here, the Chinese phone makers have been the first to jump at the opportunity to nix the capacitive fingerprint sensor. Brands such as Vivo, Huawei, and Oppo have been leading the under-display (or in-display) fingerprint sensor trend, but we can expect the likes of Samsung and LG to adopt the technology by the end of this year.
And not to forget, the premium flagship market leader OnePlus is also expected to bring along an under-screen fingerprint solution (as well as a waterdrop notch) later this year with the OnePlus 6T. So, are you excited for this biometric solution to reach the masses? Drop your thoughts in the comments down below.
