Google thought to include a fingerprint reader on the Nexus 6

The new Nexus 6 is a high-end terminal, one of the leaders of the market, and as such, we expected to include all features. One that is missing, at least, to be shuffled as possible, is the fingerprint reader. There are already several companies that have chosen this technology and Google also had among his plans. The difference is that your system would be implemented as part of the Android operating system on the touch screen. Was finally discarded, but the option is still alive for successive versions.


 Nexus 6 will be remembered as the Nexus of change. The device has broken with the usual schemes range in recent years and as expected, this has created two distinct positions, those in favor and those against this change. The new generation of Nexus is a high-end phablet, and its price fits this designation, 650 euros, and a value by which many expected a more complete device. Starting with the finished plastic back, the lack of a IPXX certification (waterproof and dustproof) and the fingerprint reader before us today.

 It has been found in the AOSP code that Google pondered the idea of including biometric security system. Specifically, the Mountain View Company worked in an official Android API that could be used by any manufacturer. Readers who have seen so far have been implemented in the physical button (cases of Huawei, Samsung, Meizu and Apple), an additional component. However, Google’s plan was to conduct a touchscreen-based system.


 Use and utilities would not be very different. Should move your finger across the screen and could also unlock the terminal, use it to pay in Google Play and other third party applications requisition it. By market share currently have Android if this idea fails because right now there, just running, surely this would be the final step towards mobile payments.


 Although not now, as you know the Nexus 6 does not have this option, yes we are optimistic about the near future in which Google will finally include this API natively on Android. We’ll see if they hope to launch next terminal of the mark or arrive asynchronously, with some of the major updates will to Android 5.0 Lollipop.
