APPLE RIVAL SHOWS OFF PHONE WITH ON-

SCREEN FINGERPRINT SCANNER

Chinese smartphone maker Vivo is showing off technology that


would enable users to scan their fingerprints through the
screen -- a feature Apple may use in the eagerly awaited iPhone
8.
Vivo, which outsells Apple in China, unveiled prototype phones
this week that can be unlocked simply by touching the screens.
The new touch ID also works underwater via a fingerprint
scanner on the back of the phone.
The phones that Vivo has on display at the Mobile World
Congress in Shanghai still have home buttons, but future
models will do away with them, the company says.
"We think this is something that changes the way people
interact with our phone," said Vivo spokesman Brent Loree.
"It's going to be popular not only in the domestic market but
also abroad as well, which is where we've started to gain more
popularity."
The fingerprint scanner, which uses technology from U.S. tech
firm Qualcomm (QCOM, Tech30), will work "even if your phone
is wet, or your fingers are wet or a little bit dirty," Loree said.
Ditching the physical home button allows the screen to cover
the entire front of the phone, something smartphone makers
have been pushing in their latest models.
Apple's (AAPL, Tech30) next iPhone 8 is widely expected to
have an extended touchscreen that dominates the entire front
side of the phone. That would mean removing the physical
home button for an on-screen button or buttons.
The U.S. tech giant is famously secretive about its upcoming
products, so it's unclear whether the iPhone 8 will feature a
fingerprint-scanning screen this fall.
But it's also uncertain whether Vivo will beat Apple to market
with the technology.
