Vivo introduces ready-to-produce display fingerprint scanning technology

Young global smartphone Vivo is all set to introduce in the Philippines its upcoming flagship smartphone, X21, that features the pioneering In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology.

The X21 is the first Vivo X-series smartphone launched in the Philippines.

Vivo Philippines will reveal all the details about the future of express unlocking technology on June 21 on their official website and social media pages with the #VivoX21LaunchPH.



Vivo is the world’s leading smartphone brand on In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology. At Mobile World Congress in Shanghai in 2017, the smartphone brand unveiled the industry’s first Vivo Under-Display Fingerprint Scanning Solution. Then at CES in 2018, Vivo revealed a ready-to-produce smartphone with the world’s first In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology, which preceded the release of the X21.

The upcoming X21 also boasts of an extraordinary FullView™ Display, an extreme dual camera setup, an exceptional AI camera, expansive storage capacity, and exhilarating Hi-Fi music. Not to mention, it also has an exquisite design.

OPPO Find X – Exploring the Infinite Potential of Technology and Art

The Find series smartphone represents OPPO’s continuous exploration of technology and artistry with profound ideas on the future development of mobile phone. Find 5 started the era of full HD displays; Find 7 introduced leading VOOC flash charge technology and the elegant skyline breathing light. Each generation of Find products is a step closer to the perfect fusion of technology and art; making breathtaking smartphones for consumers around the world.

OPPO Find X introduces a gorgeous brand-new design. Find X features an abundance of new innovations including the amazing panoramic design with holeless front and rear panels, O-Face 3D Structured Light. Together, these technologies bring smartphone user experience to a new level. OPPO’s belief is that a smartphone is not just a communication device, but a piece of art and Find X is proof of this philosophy.


Exploring the ultra-beauty: Panoramic and unified design

With panoramic design, Find X forges a new path. The elegant look and feel expresses the “beauty of nature” combining serenity and vitality. Find X achieves a refined silhouette thanks to the holeless front and rear design as well as smoothly inlaid 3D glass on the edge. Find X is graceful to look at while being comfortable in your hand.

Find X introduces the unique and beautiful Panoramic Arc Screen, an all-screen display with no compromises. OPPO used COP flexible screen packing technology in the Find X bringing the visual screen ratio to 93.8%. With the front almost all-screen, Find X and its panoramic screen brings the user an unprecedented visual experience.

Find X has two gradient color combinations—Bordeaux Red and Glacier Blue. The Multifaceted Color Process used by OPPO realizes a perfect blend of gradient design with a 3D arc on the rear. In the light, Find X shines like crystal and flowing water, presenting a colorful effect that changes with your surroundings.


Exploring delicacy: Stealth 3D Cameras

The Find X uses an innovative sliding structure that completely disguises the cameras within the body of the phone. When not in use, the cameras are hidden, providing a sleek and uniform exterior. When activated, the camera opens automatically for unlocking and photographing. This up-and-down gives the product movement, a natural and highly functional design. In addition, OPPO’s product team has carried out strict testing on the sliding structure, while it can sense the falling distance and get hidden within the phone, which balance the art design and using durability.

The stealth 3D cameras not only includes the 25-megapixel front camera and 16MP+20MP dual rear cameras, but also a 3D Structured light module with many high-tech components. Flood illuminator, Infrared camera, proximity sensor, Dot projector, Receiver and RGB camera are integrated into this unit. The 3D structured light module in Find X can project 15,000 dots, building a precise and complete 3D module of a user’s face, and then compares with the registered face of the owner to unlock.

The 3D Face recognition of O-Face has a higher level of security than fingerprint identification. The false acceptance rate of fingerprint recognition is 1/50,000, while the false acceptance rate of 3D Face Recognition is 1/1,000,000. O-Face Recognition, developed by OPPO, not only makes unlocking safer but also more convenient while offering support for mobile payment. OPPO has already made it possible to pay with O-Face Recognition by integrating Alibaba’s Alipay, making Find X the first Android phone to support payment through face recognition.



Exploring the real-beauty: Breakthrough from 2D to 3D

Powered by 3D structured light, OPPO Find X makes further progress in photography. With high-precision facial data captured and complemented by the 25MP front-facing camera, Find X introduces 3D Smart Selfie Capture. Find X creates a 3D model of the user’s face using O-Face Recognition with millimeter-level accuracy. Based on the resulting 3D model, AI technology intelligently analyzes facial characteristics such as face shapes and features, providing suggestions to make faces look more natural and realistic.

In addition, precise face recognition enables Find X to simulate various lighting effects on a human face, so portraiture lighting is enabled even for a selfie. Various lighting effects are supported including; feature light highlighting the contour of human face, bi-color light that simulates the classic red-blue color of neon, and rim light that brightens the skin color and makes the contour more vivid. Portraiture lighting makes your selfies more beautiful and artistic.

Aside from 3D Smart Selfie Capture, O-Face also has another interesting function--3D Omoji. You can choose any interesting images to make Omojis or generate your cartoon avatar, and then create video or GIF Emojis. Now, you can use them in any chat app and chat with friends using your own Omojis. Have fun!

OPPO Find X also provides the solution for backlight photography. The real-time pixel-level graded exposure technology, Sensor HDR 2.0, makes the subject and background more distinct when taking a selfie. This technology maintains the preview effect simultaneously with the final image meaning what you see is what you get.

Moreover, OPPO Find X makes it easier to take high quality photos. With the assistance of AI Scene Recognition, it intelligently identifies scenes and objects while optimizing the image. It supports over 20 scenarios of photography and over 800 scenario combinations including snow, food, pets, and so on.

OPPO is always exploring how to use AI to improve user experience. Based on Android 8.1, OPPO ColorOS 5.1 is deeply integrated with the AIE engine of the Snapdragon 845 mobile platform. The AI capability of this arrangement helps ColorOS 5.1 understand user needs better than ever before.

As the third generation of Qualcomm Mobile AI Platform, Snapdragon 845 mobile platform is engineered with every forward-looking feature, including camera and gaming, an intelligent personal assistant and advanced vault-like security. With the brand new Qualcomm® Hexagon™ 685 DSP, enhanced CPU and GPU, Snapdragon 845 mobile platform is stronger, faster and smarter than ever before.

OPPO Find X features the built-in Google Assistant and the smart low-power-consumption MIC with DSP module. This means OPPO Find X can not only identify the magnitude of ambient noise intelligently but can also adjust the performance automatically to ensure high activation success rate. Now, Google Assistant can stand by all day long while being activated at any time.

3 common causes of WiFi dead zones in your home – and what you can do about them

It's probably happened to you many times: one minute you're enjoying fast WiFi while streaming in the living room, only to lose your signal the moment you step into your bedroom. Or when you're video calling seamlessly from your bedroom, but get disconnected the minute you go inside the bathroom? How about having the urge to Google something, but for some reason just can’t connect from your dining room?

You’re probably in a WiFi dead zone. As the name implies, it’s that part of your house where your WiFi connection just doesn’t seem to work. Don’t worry—it’s not as supernatural as it sounds. In fact, WiFi dead zones are common, and you can do something about them if you just know where to look and what to check. If you’re dealing with WiFi dead zones at home, here are factors that may be affecting how fast you can stream, surf, or download:
Distance from the modem. When it comes to your home WiFi, you always have to consider the distance of your main internet modem to the gadget you’re using. If you’re in one room and the modem is in another, the furniture, doors, walls and even floors can interfere with your connection. A typical 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router can efficiently cover an indoor space of up to 46 meters, and when you move further away from the router, the signal gets weaker. If you live in pretty big house, you’ll definitely need to expand your router’s signal.
Signal-blocking devices. Metal objects, such as furniture, decoration, and household appliances can block signal from your router. Concrete walls and dividers, microwave ovens, and LED lights can also cause interference. Even water and moisture—which can come from unexpected places like plant pots, flower vases, air-conditioners, or an open bathroom door— can weaken wireless signals.
Bandwidth hoggers. When you have too many people connecting to your WiFi, of course, your connection will bog down. Downloading heavy torrent files, playing online games or video streaming can use up most of the bandwidth allocation.


So what can you do?
Depending on the service provider and router you have, you can always go online and look for DIY solutions to determine and remove signal barriers in your home. You may also contact your broadband provider for solutions and tips on how to have optimal Wi-Fi performance.
 If you are a PLDT Home subscriber, you have the exclusive privilege of enjoying the Whole Home WiFi service, which uses signal-enhancing devices that connect the entire home to a strong all-in-one broadband and smart WiFi network. This simply means that you won’t have to worry about common WiFi woes because PLDT will customize a tailor-fit a WiFi solution for your home. This means you can enjoy your Netflix shows in the bedroom, watch cooking tutorials in your kitchen, and even stream your favorite songs while in the shower!
Moreover, with Whole Home WiFi service, you have the convenience of consulting your dedicated Home Geek Squad — an expert team whose sole aim is to help you enjoy the best connection in the comfort of your home. You can sit back and relax as they will do a thorough assessment of your place, provide actionable recommendations and implement installations to enhance WiFi performance. You can also call them anytime for after-sales support.
If you have a PLDT Home Fibr or DSL Plan 1899 or below, you can simply upgrade to Plan 3499 to get internet speeds of up to 50 Mbps bundled with the Whole Home WiFi service. If you have a Fibr Plan 2899 subscription, you can simply add P600 to your monthly plan to enjoy the service. Meanwhile, if you are a Fibr Plan 8000 user, all you need to do is extend your subscription from 24 months to 36 months to automatically get Whole Home WiFi on top of your internet speeds of up to 1Gbps.        
With PLDT Whole Home Wifi System, get strong connections everywhere at home. Visit www.pldthome.com/wholehomesystem to find out how you can enjoy the Whole Home WiFi service and make the most of high-speed internet at home.
