Right after the Nexus 6 was launched last year, reports suggested that the dimple containing the Motorola logo on the back of the smartphone was originally supposed to house a fingerprint scanner. But unfortunately, Google was believed to have changed its mind at the very last minute.
And now, new reports suggest that Google might go ahead and bake in support for fingerprint authentication with the upcoming Android M release, making it easier for OEMs to implement the feature with their devices.
This feature will apparently allow access to all of Google’s services without requiring a password. We’re guessing that Google will also encourage third party apps to bake in support for fingerprint authentication with their apps.
This also indicates that the next Nexus device will probably showcase the new feature as the Nexus smartphone of the year usually debuts with the latest version of Android. Google will host the annual I/O developer conference next week where the feature will supposedly be discussed in detail.
