Huawei launched the Mate 9 Porsche Design smartphone featuring Fingerprint Cards’ fingerprint touch sensor FPC1268 and it goes down as the first commercial launch of FPC1268. Huawei’s Mate 9 Porsche Design is the first smart phone of its kind featuring FPC1268 and is also Fingerprint Cards’ first capacitive fingerprint touch sensor underglass successfully carried out in the market. As announced in February 2016, the FPC1268 is Fingerprint Cards’ first solution developed for thick materials such as cover glass. This makes way for device manufacturers to blend fingerprint sensors in new design languages. ”This is an important milestone for us and also an acknowledgement of our team’s strong technology know-how and drive. We’ve been working hard on commercializing this product since the first demonstration at the Mobile World Congress and we’re proud to see our FPC1268 integrated in its first commercial launch”, says Pontus Jagemalm, Senior Vice President, Research & Development, Fingerprint Cards.
“With FPC1268, we have once again shown how our technology extends the barriers of what fingerprint sensors can enable. This is made possible thanks to our complete and holistic offering, including not only hardware, but also state-of-the-art algorithms and secure software implementations”, concludes Pontus Jagemalm.
