After many years of development, the growing convergence in appearance and functionality and achieving differentiation is a valuable thing, such as fingerprinting is a lot of manufacturers have been frustrating things on the phone.
Fingerprints have lifelong in-variance, uniqueness and convenience, to be used as input and to replace the cumbersome and easily forgotten passwords. The most frequently used mobile device manufacturers implement the fingerprint recognition to cell phones, also has made a lot of attempts. Gimmick rather than practical, groping in the darkness of Siemens in 1998
 

Siemens 1998
In early 1998, it did not take long before the rise of the fingerprint recognition technology, Siemens demonstrated his house fingerprint identification phones.
It is also equipped with the world's first fingerprint identification technology, its greatness lies in the world to demonstrate the feasibility of mobile phone equipped with a fingerprint, significance.
 
SAGEM MC 959 2000
The SAGEM MC 959 was the first mass production of a fingerprint recognition phone, but not well known. From France, it has been out of the mobile phone market. STMicro electronics is using fingerprint technology, due to the limitations of the era of the functional machine, fingerprint recognition was only used to verify the same PIN code.
 
Handspring Visor 2001
Not only I was on the phone trying to access the fingerprint accessibility, but also on the very popular PDA applied the fingerprinting patent, Handspring Visor is one which is equipped with the fingerprint recognition module from Finger Print Card (FPC).
FPC must be very familiar with this name, it will be talked about later in history.

 
Fujitsu F505i 2003
Keen to try a variety of new features the Japanese manufacturers from Fujitsu began in 2003, constantly carrying the fingerprint feature on the phone, although the industry did not cause a sensation and follow-up, but it’s still persistent, before Apple's fingerprint out of the market to buy Fujitsu phone to get a fingerprint accounted for about 70%. Fujitsu F505i also launched the first fingerprint technology from later reputation earthquake of Authentec.

 
MOTO MB860 2011
MOTO MB860 was the first with a big-screen smart fingerprint machine, built a nVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processors, and has a docking station that connects to the computer. Fingerprint technology is also from AuthenTec, but still a scratch-off, combined with the power button, and this combines with some of the later power button. The phone at the time caused great concern, not because it had a fingerprint function, but because it was the first phone with a dual-core. However, the phone's fingerprint was not worthy of our attention, mostly scratch-off unlocks poor experience, while also frequent breakdowns encountered perspiration are the basic disabilities.
 
iPhone precedent, once again changes the world
· iPhone5s 2013
iPhone5s is first phone equipped with the front push fingerprint recognition, and the fingerprint is called Touch ID.
Some of the ingredients of which have huge sales of Apple to rely on it and the right to speak in the industry, so that we will remember the moment of the Touch ID, ever a phone that did not have a fingerprint reached this height.
There, Touch ID is not just a fingerprint, it is surrounded by a fingerprint expanded ecosystem, it has WYSIWYG positive press, with the perfect blend of the Home key, support for fingerprint to unlock, you can also use fingerprint as a method of payment, Apple Pay, etc., you need to get a password where it can be seamlessly replaced by open API, it can be done to support more applications that permeates every corner of the system. Finally, Touch ID with fingerprints that are not before all reached excellent experience. Both positive, and the first to do a push, which is pressing the Home key to unlock action, a truly scientific and technological progress is that you do not feel it's there.
 
Meizu MX4 Pro 2014
Meizu MX4 Pro is an epoch-making product, breaking the monopoly Touch ID on the front push fingerprint recognition, to the industry brought another possibility. But never expected to Meizu provide technical support from the vendor is a local --Goodix. MX4 Pro brings fingerprint experience almost close to Touch ID, the same positive press, with sapphire glass cover. Meizu fingerprint in the development process, and did not imagine the outside world so smoothly. In addition to Apple, no one has done positive press, and the Department of the top technology and used by no one.
 


Samsung S6 2015As a mobile phone giant like Samsung, Apple's Touch ID out more than two years later, only to make a close experience with the Touch ID fingerprint recognition the Samsung S6 justified. Samsung technology still used old lover Synaptics, a shame before the snow S5 fingerprint scratch, and finally made a positive push. We can see that Samsung's fingerprints all from this Synaptics, its technical strength honest with FPC have a little gap, the fingerprint surface of the chip can made sapphire, combined with projections of key design, Samsung have been criticized fingerprints being easily scratched.
 

M3note 2016
If Apple released in 2013 Touch ID fingerprint first year, then 2015 is the fingerprint of the outbreak and into 2016, it should be universal fingerprint years.
Meizu products from top to bottom line are equipped with a positive fingerprint, and even a 799 m3note uses it as well, the use of fingerprint technology is top shelf, tempered glass surface cover. As can be seen from the chart, fingerprint recognition phone show an explosive trend in 2015, almost the sum of the previous decade, which should benefit from fingerprint identification chip suppliers increasingly sophisticated technology and industry chain gradually improved. Not surprisingly, by 2016 the number will double again, the function of fingerprint will be more rich, penetrated into all aspects of the system.
 

What are your thoughts and feelings towards the history of the fingerprint recognition tech? Is it a good thing that we have access to such products as these? What could come next?
