The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship, may introduce an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, marking the brand’s second foray into this technology.
Recent Xiaomi, Vivo, and iQOO flagships have utilized under-display optical fingerprint recognition, but user feedback has indicated room for improvement.
Reports suggest that Xiaomi is testing a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, considering its potential use in the next year’s Ultra flagship.
This move follows Xiaomi’s earlier use of ultrasonic fingerprint technology in the Xiaomi 5s in 2016.
While initially faced with challenges, advancements over the years have enhanced the speed and reliability of ultrasonic solutions, outperforming their optical counterparts.
It’s crucial to note the distinction between Xiaomi’s proposed single-point ultrasonic technology and the wide-area ultrasonic fingerprints employed by Vivo in its previous models.
The Vivo X100 Pro+, expected to continue this trend, uses wide-area ultrasonic fingerprints for an advanced user experience.
