Letv launches world's first mirror-surfaced fingerprint scanner smartphone

Internet conglomerate Letv has launched its flagship "superphones" billed as the world's first smartphones with mirror-surfaced fingerprint recognition technology.

Le 1s and Le Max "superphones" have taken the fingerprint sensor to the next level through combining functionality, performance and aesthetics, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

With the patented LeTouch technology, Le 1s fingerprint sensor enables flash recognition within just 0.15 seconds and 99.3 percent accurate identification.

It also allows touch in 360 degree to unlock the phone, with five fingerprints option available.

Installed at the back panel of the phone, LeTouch with mirror surface is anti-scratch.

Unlike painted sensors on most smartphones in the market, which have only hardness as much as 3H, the sensors on Le 1s boast a hardness of 6H, which does not hinder the performance of identification at all.

Some fashionistas said this sensor could be used as a mini make-up mirror.

Available in silver and gold, Le 1s is chic and elegant in appearance with in-built privacy security, state-of-the-art technology and top-of-the-line features.

The all-metal body phone has a 5.5-inch full high definition 1920 x1080-pixel resolution display.

The Le 1s powered by Android 5.0, but running a custom skin called EUI that delivers an interface similar to Apple's iPhone.

Le 1s uses MediaTek's Helio X10 Turbo octa-core processor packed with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.

It has a 13-megapixel quick auto-focus camera and 5-megapixel front shooter. It comes with an embedded 3,000mAh battery.

Launched in October in China, Letv's Le 1s and Le Max smartphones are yet to be shipped to India.
