Meet the first smartphone with on-screen fingerprint scanner... oh, it also packs 3 cameras at the back
34
A bunch of images showing the upcoming Vivo Xplay 7 (also known as X20) emerged today. They pretty much confirm that the handset will be the first to have an on-screen fingerprint reader. This makes perfect sense, as one of the prototypes at MWC Shanghai was based on the current Xplay 6 model.
Slides from a presentation about the phone leaked out initially. Although the quality isn't all that good, we can clearly see that the "all-screen" front of the handset is quite similar to the Galaxy Note 8 renders released so far.
The back of the Xplay 7 reveals an interesting camera composition at and the source that uploaded these images on Weibo claims that this is a triple-camera setup. A trio of HD renders that broke cover a few hours later seems to confirm this, but we're a bit baffled by the lack of a LED flash here. The three sensors at the back will probably bring some fancy AR features, a la Lenovo Phab 2 Pro.
At the moment, there's no information regarding the exact hardware specifications of this device, but it will most likely be in the high-end spectrum. Launch and release dates are also uncertain at this point, but we'll probably find out more soon.
