Google Nexus 6 has a design that is basically the same as the second generation Moto X, except that the screen the first is 6 inches. But as revealed by the former CEO of Motorola, that would not have been the only substantial difference these devices might have.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Dennis Woodside , who served as CEO of Motorola during product launch as the first Moto X and Moto Maker in 2013, said the dimple is on the back of the Nexus 6 have worked as a reader fingerprints.
Moto X second generation has the same dimple, but apparently would only receive Nexus model which feature other devices such as iPhone or some models Galaxy Samsung included for months
The reason that Nexus 6 does not have this function is simple. Apple has the rights to this technology, unless the provider Motorola have chosen to enable the Nexus 6 for tasks such as unlock the device or authorize purchases.
“The secret behind that [Dimple] is that supposed to be a fingerprint reader and Apple bought the best supplier. So the second best supplier was the only one available to everyone else in the industry, “said Woodside, but also increased:” [the fingerprint reader] would not have made a difference “
Users. could be those who decide the relevance of Nexus 6 lacks a fingerprint reader and instead the dimple work – for people who seem comfortable -. as a notch that allows to better grip the device
Regarding the history of Motorola, this is not the first time I have thought of placing a fingerprint sensor into a gadget .
For years, the model Atrix 4G showed this same technology with a sensor in the rear; at that time was Authentec provider, a company that since 2012 became part of Apple and that is the reason that Motorola could not repeat the commercial alliance to add the feature in question.
Fortunately for Android users, Google has devised a series of methods release that streamline this process to want to use a device repeatedly during the day, which although not as safe as a fingerprint reader, yes are functional and useful
