Nexus 6 is not equipped with a fingerprint sensor because the market sensor is not good enough?

The January 27 news, since Motorola Mobile released Nexus 6, the market has been rumored to have been very close to the phone with fingerprint sensors. According to Dennis Wood, Dennis Woodside, former Motorola Mobile CEO and current cloud storage service provider Dropbox COO (COO), Nexus 6 was not finally equipped with fingerprint sensors because the sensors available on the market were not good enough.

In an interview, the company said that Apple's acquisition of the "best" supplier of fingerprint identification technology led to Android companies such as Motorola Mobility having to use "suboptimal suppliers" and that the supplier's technology had not yet been developed. In 2012, Apple bought fingerprint sensor manufacturer AuthenTec at a price of 356 million dollars.

Wood also agrees with many people that Nexus 6 is a bit too big to be used in one hand. He said: "This phone is too big." For me, it's really a bit big. ”

In fact, Motorola produced in 2011 a mobile phone equipped with AuthenTec fingerprint sensor, that is Atrix 4G, Apple has not yet acquired AuthenTec. It has recently been reported that Samsung is still dissatisfied with its fingerprint sensing function and may use new fingerprint sensor components. Samsung currently uses Crucialtec fingerprint sensors on devices such as Galaxy S5.

For Apple, the acquisition of authentic's deal proved to be a great deal. In general, Apple always seeks to take full control of the technology it uses. The deal not only gives Apple the best fingerprint-sensing technology, but it is also a setback for its rivals. After years of trading, other companies are still trying to keep pace with Apple in the area of fingerprint sensing.
