The fingerprint sensor on the screen will reach the mid-range this year

The fingerprint sensor on screen is something we are seeing a lot these months. Several models in the high range already use this type of sensor. Although at the moment it has hardly been extended to other market segments. But this is going to change soon, thanks to BOE. The display manufacturer is already finalizing a technology that will take this sensor to the mid and low range.

The fingerprint sensor on the screen will reach the mid-range this year

In this way, it will be compatible with LCD panels, which are what we find today in the medium and low ranges. Good news for users.

Ready this year

BOE has said that this technology will be ready this year. Therefore, presumably, between the end of the year and the beginning of 2020, the first mid-range phones with a fingerprint sensor on the screen will start to arrive in stores. Brands like Xiaomi have already made it clear that they intend to integrate this function into their devices. So we will not take long to see them.

So the mid-range and the low-end get one of the star features today in the high-end. This possibility is introduced, which will undoubtedly make many users who want this type of reader happy.

At the moment we do not know which brands will use this fingerprint sensor on the screen. Surely most of them end up adopting this function. Although the speed with which they will do this will be variable. We hope to hear from you these months.
