There have been some conflicting reports about the sensitivity of the fingerprint sensor in the new device, as some users have been complaining about apparent issues with its use. We can’t confirm if the reports are true at the moment or not, as they seem to be few and sound more like anecdotal cases rather than concrete evidence.
Using a fingerprint scanner as a security measure has been getting more and more popular among smartphone manufacturers lately, and hopefully we’re going to see the technology become even more widespread in the future.
Other companies have tried to tackle the issue from different angles, such as eye scanners, but it looks like a fingerprint lock is the most convenient and user-friendly security measure at the moment. Of course, that’s only valid as long as the scanner works properly and doesn’t additionally frustrate the user.
That’s a minor issue in light of everything else we’ve heard about the Xiaomi Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus so far though, and both devices appear to be solid entries in the company’s line-up. We can only hope that the increase in their reputation, as well as the obvious profits they’re going to realize from the upcoming sales, will be enough to keep the company moving forward and exploring new grounds on the smartphone market. They are one of the competitors with the strongest potential right now, according to many.
