SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synaptics Incorporated SYNA, the leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced Huawei has selected Synaptics^® TouchView^™ TDDI and Natural ID^™ fingerprint sensors for their new Changxiang 6S smartphones. TDDI delivers high-performance touch and display for the 6S while Natural ID manages secure biometric user authentication.
