In-Glass Fingerprint Reader TEARDOWN! - How does it work?!

In my previous Vivo X20 Plus UD video we did a durability test on the Under glass fingerprint scanner from Synaptics. In this video we will teardown the In-glass fingerprint scanner to see how it works, and what the sensor inside really looks like. PLUS we get to set the sensor side by side with the main camera sensor from an LG V30 to see the color differences.
Pretty awesome technology and the only place to see it first hand From the INSIDE is here on Jerry Rig Everything.

This is by far the best teardown channel ever, period.

[@Jacob-my4iz]

thats the reason i watch his videos

[@SRC267]

I wonder if the fingerprint sensor can read and detect toes rather than fingers as an alternative method.

[@DMontero17]

COMBO in theory, it should be able to...

[@shanepurcell8376]

Yes. Yes it does.

[@mxmln8699]

What did you smoke?

[@OhSoTiredMan]

it works, dont know why you asked that question.

[@JonJaded]

Yes you can use a toe for a regular fingerprint scanner as well. Not very convenient, I must add.

[@hellboySv]

This channel is just providing jobs to the people who learn how to repair things from here

[@hellboySv]

Mr Heavy Duty lol, but initially you also would have broken so many devices in attempt to fix them, it takes time to learn

[@hellboySv]

Mr Heavy Duty So you've never broken a device while fixing? That's cool

[@overknight5278]

Mr Heavy Duty never broken a customers device.... worked on over 50 phone... places glowin apple logo on iPhone 7, cracks lcd. Kms. I ended up buying the X. My people are happy with their replacements. Always. Except camera replacements. Apple has a deal with it where you have to reset the softwear/restore it. On some occasions so that specific one i have them use their icloud. Also i started on my cracked iphone 5s that apple wouldnt fix. Fixed that. Then an 4s that i got professionally fixed (they used a cheap display, they actually swapped out my battery it wasnt the oem in it etc)

[@69Solo]

I thought Pakoda Minister was providing jobs aye.

[@kirantechie2192]

[@stephencech3696]

I love your videos man, there's just one problem... I'm now wanting to completely tear my phone and other tech apart because it looks so cool. You do it for us and I thank you so much for that, but sometimes you just need to see those chips and connectors for yourself and what you're showing us is magic

[@TechThusiast]

Was waiting for this. Looking forward to the S9+ camera tear down next.

[@srproductions8798]

why???its so simple...i thought they made a got camera until i realise the camera is originally 1.5 aperture and they just added something like a pin hole to it...nothing truly amazing

[@zahidabader1781]

SR Productions you are the prefect example of a iSHEEP 😂

[@kbhasi]

Yes! I wonder which colour of the S9+ he's gonna buy... I imagine it'd be that "lilac" colour option.

[@lakshayasinghal1804]

He will be able to do that only after launch. So, we have another month to wait

[@srproductions8798]

[@haroonpaul1997]

😂look who's gonna copy now apple xd

[@adithyasrikanth6371]

They're never gonna get back to fingerprints in the first place. And they probably had done this before too, but they would've ditched this idea for as it wouldn't have been an economically viable option for them and perhaps due to production issues for as their sales volume usually is very much higher than that of vivo.

[@pratikbartakke7196]

Can you replace that microUSB port with type C?? 🤔🤔

[@bluecatfish2]

It's been two years but short answer: no. The protocols for USB C are a lot more complex than for mircoUSB and would require editing the circuit board itself and adding new components.

I've got to hand it to you Zach, I enjoy how your videos are not so much about tearing phones down for the sake of destruction as it is for more scientific purposes. I have been learning a lot of how one of our simple everyday tools, let us call it a phone, works from the inside; as well as how the new technology implemented fits and works in the device.

This is a really well put together phone with some great tech inside. Impressive.

[@g00glesucksatprivacy60]

Cool video, I used to take things apart as a kid just because I had to know how they work and amazingly more often than not I was able to reassemble them and they worked. One thing both you and MKBHD seem to be over looking is the cost of making a large sensor under that screen, if that was cost effective camera company’s would have made large sensors to put their imiages on long ago as opposed to working with such a small area! It’s nice to dream of a phone that will read your finger print anywhere on the screen but let’s remember that some things are just dreams as no one wants a phone that small or to pay for a senior that large!

[@madbrahim89]

Viesuliss technically selfie cam can be fitted the same way?

[@svd355]

Muhammad Ibrahim no, at least not yet. You can clearly see the OLED display isn't fully transparent like a glass, so the lens can't capture lights above the screen properly. Unless there's some tricky way to bypass the OLED screen, or any methods for the light to reach the camera lens.

[@ruben-wb7bt]

If you can, it will probably be completly blurry because there's no Lens. And also completly white because the scanner is constantly exposed. But if you solve this it may be possible, sound awsome
