Human interface firm Synaptics has said its in-glass fingerprint sensors are better than Apple's Face ID.During its most recent financial analyst day, Synaptics said its in-display fingerprint recognition solution is twice as fast as 3D facial recognition technology. Synaptics also said that in-display fingerprint recognition is more convenient than 3D facial recognition. Last week, Synaptics announced that it has begun mass production of its Clear ID FS9500 optical in-display fingerprint sensors in partnership with a “top five” manufacturer, suggesting at least one major smartphone brand will sport in-display fingerprint sensing technology in the future. Synaptics has been working on fingerprint sensors capable of reading a fingerprint through display glass for some time now, and its first product, the Clear ID-FS9100, was announced back in late 2016.
