Vivo only a couple of days back took the wraps of the iQOO 8 series made up of the vanilla iQOO 8 and the iQOO 8 Pro. During the unveiling, the company promoted the iQOO 8 Pro as having a 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The Chinese company didn’t dilate on the scanner but a Weibo video review of the iQOO 8 Pro’s Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner speed has been carried out, giving us a clear view of the biometric area and other features.iQOO 8

First off, the size is now far bigger than others in the market. The iQOO 8 Pro ultrasonic fingerprint scanner occupies a 578 sq. mm area. The speed test also shows that the scanner’s speed should be among the fastest we’ve seen on a smartphone. Also, vivo has now included the ability to read more than one finger.

It is worthy of note that the features included on the iQOO 8 Pro fingerprint scanner were first demoed on the concept vivo APEX back in 2018. While the APEX never made it to final production, it is impressive to see some of the innovative features showcased on the APEX finding their ways to its commercialized products.

Whie the iQOO 8 also packs a Under display fingerprint scanner as well, its scanner is a regular one and not the 3D Ultrasonic scanner onboard the 8 Pro. However, it is still super fast even though it is no as fast as that of the iQOO 8 Pro.

Apart from the speed, the iQOO 8 Pro’s 3D Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is also pretty easy to set up. The phone learns the fingerprint with just a one-second-long press. This is a far greater improvement from current solutions (including rear-mounted fingerprint scanner) where you will need to tap the sensor several times with different part of your fingers so that it stores all the positions the fingerprint is placed on it.

Vivo is yet to release details of the iQOO 8 series launch outside China but we expect the models to hit the global market soon where the Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will be one of the top features.
