A couple of months after they were announced, the devices have rolled out in the company’s home market in Taiwan, as well as in China. Soon, more Android fans in Asian markets would be able to get their hands on the high-end device.
However, even before the Asus Zenfone 2 phones make an impact in the Western market, a company executive said in a press event that their upcoming devices would be equipped with the latest fad in the tech industry – fingerprint scanners.
While fingerprint sensors have been with electronic devices in as early as the 1990s, it was popularized by Apple when it included the technology in its iPhone 5s handset.
Now, the Cupertino manufacturer includes fingerprint-scanning capabilities to all of its latest devices.
As for Asus, the Taiwan-based company may be following Apple’s footsteps in this department. Chief executive Jerry Shen of Asus told the media last week that the Zenfone 3 will have fingerprint scanners.
In the report by GSM Arena, Shen also hinted that the Zenfone 2 devices will get fresher versions later this year, some of which would boast fingerprint scanners as well.
Since Apple began using fingerprint scanners, it has enabled mobile devices to make secure payments online. Fingerprint-detection sensors also increase a phone’s security.
