UK gadget fans can get the new Motorola Atrix. Users’ prints are stored the first time they use the phone, then used to open it with a swipe of the finger.
Prints can be wiped from the device and replaced if the user wants to give away or sell the phone. This is the ultimate smartphone for gadget fans.
‘It is packed full of tech wizardry and features that any aspiring spy would be proud of,’ said Nicola Shenton, head of device portfolio at Orange UK. The phone is free with a 24-month Orange contract.
The device also features a faster processor to enable web pages to be opened quicker than most other phones.
Jeremy Marks, from security experts Spymaster, said: ‘This type of technology offers consumers a new level of security, surpassing anything we have seen before on a smartphone.’
