I cant believe my beloved Huawei ascend mate 7 didnt make this list. iphone nko?
I cant believe apple didn’t make the list. I think they made a very attractive/sleek and functional fingerprint sensor/reader
and that’s how iPhone got left out… there’s God o
This list is biased does iPhone not have finger print?
The focus is 2015, the iPhone 6 was launched last year
S6 was launched this year. Wasn’t it?
Obviously there are more phones with the feature not making the list,though if we’re talking of top 5, an IPhone should have been there and the OPPO R7plus doesn’t have any business in that list..
What happened to Samsung galaxy s6.
What of Doogee F5?
