Once upon a time, the rear fingerprint unlock function was all the rage in the mobile phone market and became a must-have feature for many mobile phone users. However, as time goes on, we find that more and more phones are starting to cancel this feature, why is that? Let's take a look at it together.
With the continuous development of mobile phone design, people's requirements for the appearance of mobile phones are getting higher and higher.

In order to make the phone more aesthetically pleasing,Many mobile phone manufacturers have begun to adopt the front-facing fingerprint unlocking design, which can integrate the fingerprint recognition module with the front of the mobile phone, making the mobile phone look more concise and stylish
With the continuous advancement of fingerprint recognition technology, the accuracy and speed of front fingerprint unlocking have been greatly improved. At the same time,New unlocking technologies such as face recognition and iris recognition have also begun to emerge in the mobile phone market. These new unlocking technologies are not only more accurate and faster, but also more convenient, which makes the function of rear fingerprint unlocking gradually weakened.
Over time, users' Xi habits are changing. More and more users are Xi using the front fingerprint to unlock the phone, because it is more ergonomic and more convenient to use. The rear fingerprint unlock function requires users to adapt to new ways of use, which also makes more and more mobile phone manufacturers begin to abandon the rear fingerprint unlock function.
In addition, security is also an important factor for mobile phone manufacturers. Although fingerprint recognition technology is very mature, in some cases,The rear fingerprint unlock feature can have some security implications。For example, if the back of the phone is touched by someone else, it may be maliciously unlocked. In contrast, the front-facing fingerprint unlocking technology is more secure, as the unlocking operation can only be performed when the fingerprint recognition module on the front of the phone is activated.
To sum up, the disappearance of the rear fingerprint unlock feature is due to a combination of factors. From the perspective of design aesthetics, technological progress, changes in user Xi habits, security, etc., front fingerprint unlocking technology has gradually become the preferred solution for mobile phone manufacturers. Of course, this doesn't mean that the rear fingerprint unlock feature is completely devoid of advantages, but it still has unique advantages in certain situations. However, judging from the overall trend, front-facing fingerprint unlocking technology has become the mainstream trend in the market.
