Lately, more and more smartphones have started to feature an almost bezel-less design which means that companies either place the fingerprint scanner at the back of the phones or decide to include an on-screen fingerprint scanner.
Some people prefer having an on-screen fingerprint scanner in order to fully take advantage of the phone’s large display. If you’re one of these people who’s looking for smartphones with this particular security feature, then this list is the one for you.
