thanks to nucleon by Kingston for sponsoring this video smartphone design hasn't changed that much over the past few years bezels have got a little bit thinner display technologies gotten better but we haven't seen that giant leap forward that we've seen in previous years that is until now and it's due to the clear ID sensor from synaptics and it might not mean much to you what the technology does is something we've been dreaming about for years and then rumored about for even longer it puts a fingerprint reader under your display and I've got it here and I've got it working so it's working on a vivo phone some version of this is eventually going to hit the market probably not in the US but the technology here is absolutely incredible alright so first just as English as a geek it's incredible to actually see this working in a prototype that surprisingly let me set up and try and it worked as advertised so the unlock time is like 0.7 ish seconds it's about 40% slower than what you see with just normal fingerprint readers but to the end-user I don't know as much of a slowdown at all so anything on this magic essentially works so the sensor is sitting below this point if you catch it in the right light you can actually see it down towards the bottom it's set at an angle that they told me was for improved accuracy and speed it's barely there but it's kind of cool to see it and because it's under the screen you can do a lot with design you'd have to worry about taking up a chunk of space with a fingerprint reader on the front on the back of devices if you make things look more elegant materials put in bigger battery put a generally other components cuz you don't have to worry about trying to find a spot for that sensor because there's an actual spot for it software kind of comes into place as the phone moves or you pick it up it's a text you want to unlock it it's gonna illuminate essentially where you should put your finger put your finger right there and it unlocks and the rest of how it works seems kind of pedestrian which i think is the point it works the way all your finger parameters working out set up was very simple unlocking it is very simple but it looks like magic when you turn your phone off and the screen is blank and you know as a fingerprint reader actually under there so it's a simple answer of how this works it's actually going through the pixels the OLED panel so it's optical it's different to what we're gonna see from Qualcomm later on in the year it's abuse of ultrasonic technology to do similar things but this is here and right now I could get a lot more about the technology but as a fan of smartphones and what they represent this is a gigantic leap forward this is the stuff of science fiction a few years later in the palm of my hand hopefully we'll see this technology make it to a ton and more smartphones in 2018 so this video wouldn't be possible without nuclear and we've actually been using this a ton at CES it adds way more functionality to new MacBook and MacBook Pros with USB C so the big thing it adds seven ports seven ports of things that you need USB a and actually USB C port SD card readers and more and most importantly I think at least to us is you can use all seven ports at once it's color match to the MacBook it's a must-have accessory if you've got one of these new computers it's one dongle and one cable that just adds way more functionality than you get right from Apple so I don't learn more link to it down below so do you guys think reach excited as I am are you pumped you prefer some sort of other biometrics to unlock your phone this is an incredibly elegant solution leave a comment down below let me know of course subscribe hit the little bell icon T notify the more CES videos are coming your way till next time I'm John rende your exact no Buffalo I'm holding the future they're not gonna take it from me
