Ask HN: What Would Be Android's Answer to Apple Touch ID?

2 pointsby pajjuabout 10 years ago
What would be Android&#x27;s answer to Apple Touch ID, since Google does not control the OEMs?<p>I had Atrix 4G Phone before and the sensor sucked.<p>But to those who say fingerprint scanners&#x2F;sensors suck, on the iPhone it just works! I mean, It&#x27;s really that good (sapphire scratch proof button cover probably contribute to that).<p>Even with a standard API in L, I still don&#x27;t see it taking off sooner due to fragmentation in OEM ability to execute. Also from the UX perspective, let&#x27;s face it, Apple Pay with Touch ID is lot better than Google Wallet has to offer today.<p>Looking for a constructive discussion on this topic.
