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.
