Fingerprint Cards’ FPC1080A swipe sensor has been selected by one of China’s
mobile phone manufacturers that has access to a well-known European mobile
brand.
The Chinese smartphone supplier that has chosen the FPC 1080A is starting an
Android Smartphone project this month and expects to release the first mobile
phone models in the second half of 2013, both in China and internationally. The
first model will use MediaTek’s Quad Core 3G/HSPA Android platform, the MT 6789,
which FPC has excellent knowledge of since earlier porting projects of customer
phones and tablets. Due to the prevailing competitive situation, the mobile
phone player wants to remain anonymous until further notice.

Johan Carlström, President and Chief Executive Officer of FPC, comments:
“China is the world’s largest market for smartphones, with a forecast sales
volume of 430 million units in 2013. Chinese brands already account for a market
share of more than 50%. This porting on the popular MediaTek Android Smartphone
platform facilitates additional design wins on the same platform in China. Due
to our world-leading capacitive fingerprint technology, image quality and power
consumption, FPC is now established as the leading alternative for fingerprint
sensors in smartphones and tablets. We expect a number of additional design wins
in the booming China market during the months ahead.”
