Surface Phone is Microsoft's new mobile and the nearest future of Microsoft's mobile division. However, in recent days many information and rumors are talking about this mobile and other Microsoft models.
The latest information is part hearsay part truth which makes it different. Apparently the new Surface Phone will have an in-screen fingerprint sensor. It will not have a button, or anything similar, the user will put their finger on the screen and it will be unlocked.
The new patent for the in-screen fingerprint sensor could be on more products besides the Surface Phone
This technology has recently been patented by Microsoft, which has unleashed the information of the possible inclusion in the Surface Phone. This really does not justify anything and patents do not usually indicate anything, but if we take into account that Microsoft executives have said that they need a mobile that breaks with the usual and that surprises, The truth is that this on-screen fingerprint sensor is something very possible, more possible if possible than the large amounts of RAM that are discussed.
And it seems that this will be the future of fingerprint sensors because Microsoft is not the only company behind this technology. For a long time, when talking about the iPhone 7, many talked about this technology applied to the iPhone. Among other things because Apple was interested in it, but has not yet launched anything similar.
On the other hand, Microsoft is betting very strongly on security and Windows Hello, so, although the Surface Phone does not carry this type of technology, surely Microsoft incorporates this technology into its products, like the Surface Pro or Surface Book. In any case it seems that the famous fingerprint sensor buttons have their days numbered or so they will be when the on-screen fingerprint sensor is on the market Do not you think?
