Apple's top 2020 iPhone model may be first entire-screen device with embedded fingerprint reade

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The next premium iPhone may be Apple's first phone with an entire-screen display. According to a report from LetsGoDigital which cites a Credit Suisse presentation, Apple is planning on releasing a phone without a bezel in 2020. That means the the entire front side of the device would be a screen - presumably an OLED display. It also means that Apple would be forced to make some substantive changes. Among the major changes, according to LetsGoDigital, would be getting rid of Apple's current face recognition software, Face ID and replacing it with in-display fingerprint technology.

LG G8 hands-on: Could the future of smartphones be in the palm of my hand?

PCWorld

It pretty much uses the same design as the G7 from last year, which means it doesn't have a triple-camera setup like the V40. But it just might be one of the most intriguing phones of the year. Whether that translates into sales is the big question, but my usually jaded hands couldn't wait to pick up the G8 following LG's briefing. I wanted to try it out almost as much as Samsung's $2,000 Galaxy Fold. And I walked away feeling like LG might be onto something, after a string of one-and-done gimmicks going all the way back to the G5's modular Friends accessories and the V20's second screen.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro: cutting-edge brilliance

The Guardian

Huawei has made really good phones for years, but the Mate 20 Pro is the Chinese firm's first truly cutting-edge device with a triple camera, 3D face unlock and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. The Mate series of phones has always delivered one thing above all else – battery life. This year Huawei has gone out of its way to deliver even more. The Mate 20 Pro is the best feeling, most premium device the Chinese firm has made. It's incredibly solid, smooth and well built, but at 189g is still surprisingly light and manageable compared to the 208g iPhone XS Max and 201g Samsung Galaxy Note 9.


Huawei Mate 20 Pro launches with in-screen fingerprint sensor

The Guardian

Huawei's new Mate 20 Pro has a massive screen, three cameras on the back and a fingerprint scanner embedded in the display. The new top-end phone from the Chinese firm aims to secure its place at the top of the market alongside Samsung, having recently beaten Apple to become the second-largest smartphone manufacturer in August. The Mate 20 Pro follows Huawei's tried and trusted format for its Mate series: a huge 6.39in QHD OLED screen, big 4,200mAh battery and powerful new Huawei Kirin 980 processor – Huawei's first to be produced at 7 nanometres, matching Apple's latest A12 chip in the 2018 iPhones. New for this year is an infrared 3D facial recognition system, similar to that used by Apple for its Face ID in the iPhone XS, and one of the first fingerprint scanners embedded in the screen that is widely available in the UK, removing the need for a fingerprint scanner on the back or a notch on the front. The Mate 20 Pro is water resistant to IP68 standards and has a sleek new design reminiscent of Samsung's S-series phones, with curved glass on the front and back.


Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Tablet review: as good as Surface Pro but with USB-C

The Guardian

Lenovo's third-generation ThinkPad X1 Tablet aims to be a no-compromise Windows 10 detachable that gives users what Microsoft's Surface won't: USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. The form factor is familiar. The actual computer is squeezed into an 8.9mm thick tablet with a kickstand out the back and a magnetically attached keyboard that sits up on an angle for better typing. That's not to say this is a pure workhorse, but the matt-black paint job, ancient-looking ThinkPad logo and red highlights certainly give the impression this machine is about getting stuff done. The 13in screen is bigger than you'll find on the Surface Pro and the Eve V, and that makes it easier to use solo as a laptop. The screen itself is pin-sharp, colourful and just about bright enough to use outdoors.
