SAN JOSE, Calif. - May 31, 2018 - Synaptics Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced its next-generation, performance-enhanced member of the FS9500 Clear ID™ family of optical in-display fingerprint sensors has been selected by Xiaomi for its new flagship Mi 8 Transparent Adventure smartphones. Xiaomi, one of the world's largest smartphone manufacturers, chose Synaptics due to its proven optical in-display performance and technology, advanced optical-optimized algorithms, and significant expertise in user experience design.
The award-winning Clear ID was recently honored as Component of the Year by the distinguished Society for Information Display (SID), following Best of Show recognition at CES 2018 from several leading industry publications, including Android Authority, Android Central, Digital Trends, Tech Radar, Toms Guide, and CES itself.

The smartphone industry's rapid shift towards bezel-free OLED infinity displays is driving the adoption of our in-display fingerprint sensors to enable the most natural user experience,' said Kevin Barber, senior vice president and general manager, Mobile Division, Synaptics.
