WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.400
display notches love them or hate them we can all agree

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:11.519
that the quest to eliminate bezels and push ever closer to that mythical 100

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:16.080
screen to body ratio in a smartphone is in fact stimulating a lot of innovation

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:21.199
from hidden cameras that pop up when you're using them to using vibrating

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:25.519
glass as your speaker but the one feature that we have in our

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:31.039
hands today that seems to me at least less like a gimmick and more like the

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.600
new paradigm moving forward is fod or

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.920
fingerprint on display with the latest example of this technology right here on

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.840
the 6t from oneplus so they reached out to sponsor a video

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.600
all about this new fingerprint scanning technology and how exactly it works so

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.559
let's unlock its secrets

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:56.740
oh no that's just we're just unlocking the phone there's no secrets

00:00:53.199 --> 00:01:01.709
sorry wait just hold on a sec

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:12.479
okay first things first definitions ever since the first fod prototypes showed up

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:14.720
at ces 2018 people have erroneously been

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.920
calling them in-screen fingerprint readers but technically speaking these

00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:24.400
implementations are actually under screen fingerprint readers so with an

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:30.400
under screen scanner like the one in the oneplus 6t there's the glass

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.960
then the amoled display panel then the

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.799
fingerprint reader an in-screen reader would be a technology we don't actually

00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.640
have yet where the scanner would actually be integrated within the

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:44.560
display panel which would presumably allow large areas of the screen or even

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.439
the entire screen to read your fingerprint enabling ideas like

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:52.960
multi-finger authentication or even continuous authentication where the

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:56.799
device never stops reading your fingerprint throughout an entire session

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.960
or transaction that's really fun to think about but let's bring it back to

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.360
the present day because even this would have seemed pretty sci-fi a few short

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.440
years ago something that's especially mind-boggling considering that oneplus

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.720
themselves have been experimenting with this technology in their Labs since back

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:17.840
in 2017 when they had actually intended

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:19.920
to include it in the oneplus 5t as for

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.879
why that never happened oneplus says the tech just wasn't ready yet the hardware

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:29.840
was larger taking up precious space inside the phone and that module

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.000
actually had to be bonded onto the screen increasing the cost and the

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.360
complexity of repairs more importantly for the user though

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.840
they felt that the first gen scanner just wasn't fast enough or consistent

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:47.920
enough to ship with a oneplus logo attached now two phone generations later

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.560
the 6t uses a newer smaller fingerprint

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:55.840
module from goodix that oneplus says is the fastest in the industry unlocking

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.599
the phone in just .36 seconds unlike the

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:03.120
capacitive fingerprint scanners that most of us are used to the 6t uses an

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:07.440
optical scanner so the phone's display is actually used to shine a light at

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.440
your finger apparently they got the best results with green light and then the

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.239
reflected light that reaches the fingerprint sensor creates an image of

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:20.879
your fingerprints minutiae the distinctive ridges valleys and forks

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:24.159
that comprise your unique fingerprint the scanned image is then compared to

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.120
the fingerprint that was stored in your snapdragon CPU's trust zone which is

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:32.319
analogous to an iphone secure enclave back when you first trained your

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:36.400
fingerprint model self-learning algorithms help compare your minutia to

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.680
the saved image more quickly and if there's a match the phone unlocks

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:44.480
lickety-split and now for some rapid fire q a from

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:50.400
some guy is it durable yeah it's rated for 300

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:55.200
000 unlocks is that a lot though that's about like unlocking your phone

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:57.840
150 times a day for five years

00:03:55.200 --> 00:04:01.760
what if i have a screen protector then that will not affect it at all

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.360
okay smart guy what if i have a bunch of scratches or even a crack on my screen

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.000
okay now we're getting into your mileage may vary territory if you have a small

00:04:06.959 --> 00:04:11.599
crack then it probably won't affect it

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.840
if you have a bigger crack then it's probably a good idea to train the model

00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:18.560
with the crack already there and if you have a really big crack well

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.720
then you should go to the gym well see you later

00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:31.360
so in summary this is something that i've been

00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:34.720
particularly amped about because even way back when the first phone started

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.520
showing up with fingerprint scanners on the back i've been looking at that going wow

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:44.160
i hate this i hate everything about it because i use my phone sitting on the

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:48.800
desk in front of me an awful lot whether it's to browse through notifications

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:53.600
swipe them away or whatever the case may be and having a fingerprint scanner on

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:57.680
the front allows me to pick up my phone less which i don't know about you guys

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:01.199
but for me is definitely a quality of life improvement so being able to just

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:07.360
go like this go yes that's important no it's not type of dtap and be done

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.479
huge improvement absolutely love it so thanks for watching guys thanks to

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:13.280

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:26.160
has cool shirts like the one i'm wearing and our community forum which you should

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:33.560
totally join did i train this finger oh i did yeah okay okay okay

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.560
thanks some guys
