Mid-range smartphones with a fingerprint scanner at the back
Fingerprint scanners are probably one of the best ways to secure your smartphones. Unlike facial recognition, you don’t have to hold your phone up to your face in order to unlock it. A touch is all it takes. With a sensor on the rear, you can unlock the phone with your index, or middle finger by the time you take it out of your pocket. Here are a few good options to consider if you’re looking for a mid-range device with a fingerprint scanner.
