Xiaomi patents technology for full screen under-display fingerprint scanner

Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi has patented a new fingerprint technology. This allows you to scan your fingerprint wherever you touch it on the screen.

Over the years, under-display fingerprint scanners have become the norm for Android smartphones, with most flagship devices coming with some form of an under-display biometric scanner now.

Xiaomi is set to further innovate on this, as the Chinese tech giant has recently gotten a patent for a new type of fingerprint scanning technology that will let you unlock your phone by placing your thumb on any part of the screen.
