Yes. I still consider them to be premium player in the market. Although it might not be reflecting in sales. |

Fingerprint Display under the screen
Synaptics announced optical fingerprint sensor back at the end of 2016. An updated version was unveiled today that in theory reads the fingerprint when placed under the OLED. The company also shared that a “Tier 1” manufacturer will introduce the first phone with the tech at CES 2018.

Will it be Sony? As Samsung is not going to announce any mobile at CES.

It's probably some Chinese brand. Sony is Tear 1 in terms of brand and quality but they are not in top 5 in phone sales. Besides, I don't think this technology is refined enough either. This could be buggy and have some issues, if it was mature enough, I'm sure Samsung would offer it for their S9. |

Under screen FPS is not comfortable to use unless a large are of the screen accommodates it, with a small bottom bezel, it would be awkward to hold your phone to unlock. Also, it better to have a physical key that you can feel because you would struggle if you're fumbling in the dark. I still believe the side mounted FPS is the best and most natural position, this would be a step backwards for Sony but one forward for iPhone X. |

I believe they will place it beneath virtual home button .
If you need, you can probably turn on screen ( power button or 2 taps to wake up) then you touch the spot to unlock your phone.
Vivo has been working with Qualcomm, but Synaptics is the one bringing it early 2018.
I do not remember which phones usally come at CES.
Not sure if Galaxy A or any Sony midrange could be these phones to have it.
Or maybe G7 if they use the 835 again. |

This tech is not refined enough. It's cool and all but from what i've read there is considerable lag compared to current solutions. sure it's cool, but for now, i think an actual FPS is more practical unless a company is really pushing the boundaries of design for their phone. in which case, you have to make certain sacrifices.
very doubt it is sony. I would guess it's a chinese manufacturer

My biggest concern is how expensive is going to be compared to current FPS as buttons.
What if you need to repair sensor or screen?
If the sensor is completely integrated to display, probably you cant replace just one of them.

Hi... Someone posted on reddit this.
H8216
- 5.5" Full HD 16:9 HDR sRGB 148%
- Qualcomm 845
- 64GB ufs, 4GB ddr4
- 3130 mAh
- 12MP + 12MP rear
- 15MP f2.0 22mm ( 1.3") : might be the 16MP sensor used by LG V30
- 156g
- 14.8 cm x 7.34cm x 7.40 cm
If this one brings a nice design, nice colors, dual sim and both cam work together to shoot 24MP..
I will get it...

It says dual rear cam. Both 12MP. It does not say the value of f nor how many mm for lenses.
Selfie 15MP ( maybe 16MP, imx400 is shown as 17MP always but is 19) with f2.0 and 22mm lenses.
Topic on reddit is : 2018 highend xperia spec
