We can freely say that we are carrying our computer and our whole personal life in one tiny smartphone, so it is no wonder why people want to protect it. A fingerprint scanner represents a technology that is identifying and authenticating the fingerprint of smartphone’s owner and it is giving or denying the access to the smartphone. When you put your finger on the scanner, it is sensing and reading in a high-quality image with all of its detailed ridges, patterns, and pores and it is storing it in the mobile’s data for the future purpose. So, the next time you put your finger on the sensor it will scan it again and if it matches the scan it has in the mobile’s data, it will unlock the phone, but if it doesn’t match it won’t. This is the perfect way to secure your smartphone and you can be sure nobody will poke around your personal stuff.

There are two types of fingerprint sensors, front-mounted and rear-mounted. The only difference between these two types of scanners is in their place on the phone. The front-mounted is placed in, you guessed it, front, while the rear-mounted is located on the back of the phone. There are some serious ongoing debates among people about what is the best place for a fingerprint scanner, but at the end, it all depends on a person’s taste and what they find comfortable.
