Thumbs up for Windows 10 mobiles, it’s better late then never. 

A touch away from securing your phone!

Good news for all Windows phone fan who miss that finger rolling action on their phone. According to WinHEC presentation by Microsoft this week, fingerprint scanner will be integrated into future Windows 10 Mobile update which is scheduled for 2016 summer, probably in July. It is more likely now that the next Windows 10 Mobile flagships will start identifying you via your fingerprints, instead of iris scanner function that current Lumia generation sports. Iris scanner, we will miss you and your accuracy, but your inconvenience just won’t do.

In fact, this addition function to Windows phone should not be much of a surprise. Given how most of our phones already got fingerprint scanner, this strategic decision from Microsoft is just logical. The iris scanner just didn’t add enough attraction and momentum to distinct Windows phones from all its competitors. Sometime being different pay off, but not this time. The question was only when, after the fingerprint sensor was spotted on the recent HP Elite x3.

Beside fingerprint support, the Windows 10 Mobiles Anniversary update will update new features on desktops and mobile with error fixes. Hopefully it will remove Wi-fi Sense’s questionable password sharing feature. User will be able to download extensions on its Edge power and get real-time Web notifications. It is also expected to bring Windows Ink to let users with digital ink on apps like Microsoft Office, Bing Maps, Edge and even Sticky Notes.

It will worth the wait!

Finger-crossed we will start seeing more Windows 10 Mobile products with biometric function in the market soon. Not that there are many of them already, but hopefully the rumoured Surface Phone will be one of those. Truth to be told, pressing your finger on a scanner is just pure fun. And we all need that.
