El Nexus 6 it has not had the great success of its predecessors. The fact that be the Nexus smartphone with the biggest screen And its hefty price tag, when compared to the acclaimed Nexus 4 or its successor, the Nexus 5, has caused it to not sell as well as the previous two models.
A few months ago we told you that el Nexus 6 was about to have a fingerprint sensor but what Google scrapped the idea at the last minute. Well, it seems that it was rather Motorola who made the decision not to implement the sensor, because of Apple!
The reasons the Nexus 6 finally didn't have a fingerprint sensor
And is that Dennis Woodside, former CEO of Motorola, has spoken with The Verge and has given the reasons why the development team finally decided not to integrate a fingerprint sensor in the Nexus 6.
According to Dennis Woodside, who is currently the COO of Dropbox, Motorola was very clear that the Nexus 6 would have a fingerprint sensor and they wanted to mount the best sensor on the market, manufactured by Authentec.
The problem came when those from Cupertino decided to buy Authentec for 356 million dollars, with the idea of implementing its biometric readers on iPhones.
Motorola was not willing to use the second best sensor since, according to the manufacturer, only the product of Authentec it promised a good enough user experience.
This is Motorola's explanation. An explanation without any foundation. Why? Very easy. No one can deny that the fingerprint sensor that Samsung used for the Galaxy S5 is not even close in quality to what is offered by Apple and its iPhone 5S. But what about Huawei?
The Asian manufacturer presented the Huawei ascend Mate 7 at the IFA in Berlin, at the beginning of September, and the quality of its fingerprint sensor is more than remarkable.
And we also have Meizu and her amazing Meizu MX4 Pro, with an impressive fingerprint sensor. My opinion? Google and Motorola did not have time to finish the code to be able to use a fingerprint sensor with the pure software of Nexus devices and this is the real reason why the Nexus 6 does not have a fingerprint sensor
The same is not very necessary at all
