hey we're at Qualcomm's headquarters in San Diego they're about to show us a new ultrasonic fingerprint reader that fits underneath the display of a smartphone I'm gonna start seeing this in products starting next year alright so this is the development phone that's connected to basically what is dummy phone with a fingerprint reader in the display I'm gonna put my finger here and it should unlock the phone there you go because this is using a Coventry rigged set up with two different devices it's actually not as fast as what it'll look like in real life once it's integrated into the phone it's supposed to work a lot faster right now the only phones within in screen fingerprint reader use an optical sensor or essentially a light wave to look at the the fingerprint Qualcomm's is different because it uses sound waves basically shoots a wave of pressure up from the phone onto your finger and it sort of maps the ridges and valleys in your finger to verify who you are and Qualcomm says that this is a both a faster and more secure way of doing a fingerprint reader you can also integrate heart rate monitoring in the dish and this also works when your fingers wet and it isn't affected by sunlight or any other light which might affect optical in screen sensors you can expect the first phones with a under display ultrasonic take your parent reader this show up in the spring of next year my money's gonna be on the Galaxy S ten
