Vivo, during the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2018, surprised everyone by showcasing a smartphone with an under display fingerprint sensor. The Vivo X20 Plus UD will be the first smartphone to feature this much-awaited technology. The smartphone was spotted on TENAA, the Chinese certification website. The smartphone is very similar to the already available Vivo X20 Plus as UD here could just mean 'under display' fingerprint scanner.

The smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC coupled with Adreno 512 GPU. The device will come with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage.

The under display fingerprint scanner was developed by Vivo in partnership with Synaptics. The company likes to call the under display fingerprint scanning technology as Clear ID. In the Vivo's upcoming smartphone the sensor sits between the glass protection and the OLED panel. This type of technology will soon be adopted by other smartphone manufacturers as well.
