Fingerprint identification is a necessary function of the new smartphone. In terms of security and convenience, fingerprint identification technology has been improved to a certain extent. At present, due to the size problem of fingerprint recognition sensor, most mobile phones can only place it behind the Home key or mobile phone, which means that the precious size space of screen and fuselage will be limited.
Apollo Sensor Network News: A subversive mini-fingerprint sensor Synaptics FS4304 will appear at next week's MWC2016 conference. The sensor is only 3.5mm wide and can be placed in a narrow space without pressure, even in the volume keys, switch keys and other smartphones commonly used function keys.

Synaptics FS4304 also upgraded the SentryPoint Secure Suite security suite by checking fingerprint recognition images "Liveness" can greatly enhance the security of fingerprint identification. It can defend against the traditional methods used by hackers to crack fingerprints to the greatest extent, such as preserving fingerprint images to deceive sensors.

At present, only Samsung is the OEM partner of Synaptics FS4304. However, it can be believed that this miniature to extreme sensor will attract more attention from mobile phone manufacturers after its appearance at the MWC2016 conference.
