There's alavailiable a phone on discound in certain markets, the Vivo X21, that embeds the fingerprint scanner underneath the screen. Currently, Synaptics is a highest supplier for fingerprint scanning, but he increasingly recommends investing in the entire supply chain, especially companies that supply parts to Goodix, that he says is the leading provider of optical fingerprint scanning technology.
