I use a Motorola E4 made by Motorola and Lenovo.
My all my device needs to unlock is for me to just look at it. You won't Even know my face was scanned cos once you pick the phone to use and just activate the screen, it takes you straight to home Page but if someone else tries to use the phone, it takes you straight to password.

Once unlocked too, the phone doesn't lock as long as it's on my person but if it's with someone else while unlock and somehow gets locked in your hands, I have to unlock it for you again. I dunno how Motorola did the "owners body detection" but that feature is lit.

Gionee A1. Very sharp and accurate fingerprint. Its mounted at the front of the phone not rear mounted. One soft touch of my registered thumb on it, and it gets unlocked immediately and also used to perform other functions like login in to some Apps and making confirmation for some other things. The Gionee A1 is really a dope device i must say. Both the fingerprint scanner and iris scanner works perfectly and so secured.

I use an Infinix Hot 4 pro. I like the fingerprint sensor because I don't have to draw my unlock pattern in front of people.

And I use it to block access to some apps on my phone.
that's nice to know.

For you people who are afraid of your phone being unlocked while asleep, just restart your phone before sleeping and android will surely ask for the password first before the fingerprint can be used for subsequent unlocking.
Thank me later. cool

Bigt2. Yeah, for we using Android 7 upward.


Kobicove, seems you have never used a fingerprint phone before, that's why you typed such. Who still have time to be pressing keyboard for password these days? That's kind of stressful mehn!

Unlock your phone with ease; using fingerprint.

but this finger prints of a think wont stop all this fast guys from unlocking the phone after its been snatched from the owner
Re: How Safe Is The Fingerprint Sensor On Your Phone by meobizy(f): 1:35pm On Nov 04, 2018
Phones are devices with the best fingerprint scanners. It was a waste when implemented with laptops because they were more hassle than worth. The discontinuation of it showed manufacturers learned a lesson from the whole ordeal.
When I saw my phone could store fingerprints I never cared for any form of security ever again. Just the fact I can open my phone by placing my thumb on a sensor makes me feel like a James Bond level CIA spy.
