Chronology of
Cellphones / PDAs / GPS
Here is the history of cellphones, PDAs & GPS containing a fingerprint sensor. Other modalities are in the not fingerprint page.
Same information as the companies page, latest devices first.

We can clearly see the "Apple effect" : Apple bought Authentec in 2012...
Important notice :
- I do not count a new phone when it is the same design than an older device.
- I stopped to collect all those fingerprint enabled devices end of 2016, too much of them !
News

– when the user’s finger is close to the display, the pixels around the touch point
will automatically light up as an additional light source to help obtain
a clear fingerprint image.
The APEX 2019 will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona at the end of February and visitors to the event will have the opportunity to enjoy a first-hand viewing. - (2019 Feb) MWC : nothing.
