Sharp VGA touchscreen biometric phone
Not happy with the accolade of being the first handset manufacturer to add a VGA screen to a mobile phone, Sharp intends to bring touchscreen VGA with built-in fingerprint recognition.
The new screen boasts 640×460 300ppi resolution at 30fps, and not only does it allow for complete control over your phone, but also the simultaneous scanning of your fingerprint. Concieved by Sharp Europe and recently presented in Japan and America, it is not yet clear how deeply this technology will penetrate Sharp’s mobile phone offerings.
We’re still unsure how necessary it is to bundle biometric scanning into mobile phones. For the most part, it’ll only act as a means of impressing friends and relatives. For the minority, it could save a whole lot of problems.
