HTC One Max will release recognizable fingerprints

HTC will unveil its new flagship mobile phone one Max on October 15, the Wall Street Journal reported October 8, adding fingerprint recognition to the new product.

One Max can basically be viewed as a "magnified version" of a. HTC One Max is reported to be equipped with a 5.9-inch screen, ultrapixel lenses and personal Information Center BlinkFeed that capture a better picture when the light is poor. This July, the company launched one of the "shrink version"--one Mini.

The news was leaked to the paper by two people familiar with the matter, and if the news were true, it would be another flagship product with fingerprint recognition following Apple's iphone 5s. It is not clear which applications support HTC One Max's fingerprint recognition, and whether the feature can be paid and unlocked like the iphone 5s is still unknown.

While fingerprint recognition has become a growing standard for mobile devices, analysts say the scope of the feature is still limited. Fingerprint recognition has been used in laptops for more than 10 years--in 2000 Toshiba has already added fingerprint sensors to its laptops; in 2011, the world's first mobile phone with fingerprint recognition, the Motorola Atrix 4G, which runs the Android system, was born But then it was forgotten by the user because of the bad experience.

"The use of fingerprint sensors is still very narrow," said Jenny Lai, an analyst at HSBC, Jenny Rai. Operations such as wireless payments require the support of the entire system, not just the stack of hardware. At present, only two companies can complete the integration of fingerprint functions-Apple and Google. ”

HTC last week announced its first loss since its inception, so even if the fingerprint function is so imperfect, the company still adds the new feature to one Max to attract consumer attention.
