Xiaomi Testing Single-Point Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanner
Xiaomi is gearing up to redefine the smartphone photography landscape with its upcoming flagship, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The device boasts an impressive 50MP quad-camera setup, featuring a large variable aperture main camera for refined imaging experiences.
Notably, Xiaomi is pushing the boundaries of security and convenience by testing a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint program. Digital Chat Station reports that the engineering machine is actively verifying this cutting-edge solution, which could make Xiaomi 14 Ultra the sole high-end flagship in the Xiaomi 14 series to support ultrasonic fingerprints.
In contrast to traditional optical fingerprint solutions, the ultrasonic sensor in Xiaomi 14 Ultra emits pulses that sense fingerprint-specific marks and ridges, forming precise 3D depth data. This not only enhances accuracy but also eliminates the need for the screen to reach maximum brightness during fingerprint recognition.
A noteworthy advantage of ultrasonic under-screen fingerprints is their resilience to moisture. Xiaomi 14 Ultra users will be able to unlock their devices with wet hands, a feat typically challenging for traditional optical fingerprint phones.
As anticipation builds for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s release, the inclusion of a domestic ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint system, potentially distinct from Qualcomm programs, promises a novel and advanced user experience. With whispers of a dual-supplier solution and the likelihood of a early 2024 launch, Xiaomi enthusiasts eagerly await the unveiling of this imaging powerhouse.
