Huawei Mate 70 side fingerprint sensor occupies less space: Tipster
Huawei Mate 70 could use an upgraded side-mounted fingerprint sensor that will occupy less space and offer an easy unlocking experience. A recent leak claims the respective solution may ease unlocking scenarios for device owners.
FixedFocus revealed earlier that the Mate 70 and Pro models may use a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The high-end variants could continue to sport an optical fingerprint solution. Now the same tipster added more insights to the topic.
The tipster says the Huawei Mate 70 side fingerprint solution occupies less space on the device. It is an average yet improved fingerprint scanner that eases the unlocking experience. The OEM aims to offer the best fingerprint recognition with Mate 70.
Unlike the under-display or rear-mounted solutions, a side fingerprint sensor seems more easily accessible. It may also deliver faster recognition times. Being on the side, it is said to occupy less space and can lead to fewer bezels around the screen.
The tipster eventually said the Huawei Mate 70 side-mounted fingerprint solution will provide the best unlocking experience to users.
A few netizens further speculated that the company will likely opt for a 3D side-mounted fingerprint solution. Such scanners use ultrasonic tech to generate a 3D impression of a user’s fingerprint. It also protects from fake fingerprint scenarios.
It is unclear if Huawei will adopt a 3D side-mounted fingerprint solution or an ordinary one for the Mate 70 series. Although the device will likely deliver a better unlocking experience over other models with the same technology.
Another tipster in the comment section hints that the Mate 70 has a slim but spacious body. It can easily stack many components. The company has also enhanced the thermal conditions of the device, avoiding overheating and related problems.
Everything combined, the Mate 70 series may deliver an improved and far better unlocking experience with the side-mounted fingerprint scanner. An official confirmation awaits on this matter. Though things will get clear in the coming days.
Huawei is making significant upgrades to its upcoming Mate lineup. One of the inputs said that the company will make noteworthy changes to the device’s design. It may adopt a more flat frame than previous-generation smartphones.
The manufacturing and components of these flagship models seem a bit expensive. But that won’t affect the overall pricing of the device. Let’s see what major upgrades the lineup will bring on board.
