Convenience at your fingerprints

Our ultrasonic fingerprint sensor has a thickness of less than 0.2 millimeters and can be implemented under a device’s full display, allowing for a thin, button-less device design. Its convenient location also makes the sensor less obtrusive to use than other biometric options. While face unlock requires users to pull out their phones and look directly at their screens, using our 3D Sonic Sensor is quick, easy, and discrete.

The Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor is also scalable, making it easier for OEMs to integrate the technology for a device of almost any size.

Beyond security

Given it’s virtually error proof, the Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor is ideal for a host of solutions. It works for mobile payments and is compliant with Samsung Pay, MasterCard, and KakaoPay; users simply unlock their device with their fingerprint, pay, and go.

The ultrasonic sensor technology can be utilized for different future-facing applications as well. Because the Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor uses sound waves to detect blood flow, OEMs can use the technology for healthcare purposes such as monitoring heart rate, measuring BMI, and analyzing blood sugar levels. It could also be modified for AI use cases in the future.

Based on our research, with the lowest failure-to-acquire rate compared to commercial fingerprint solutions in the mobile industry, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors have become the gold standard when it comes to safeguarding user information. Our Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor, in particular, enables OEMs like Samsung to develop devices that are sleek, low-power, and most importantly, secure.
