The main reason for this situation is that fingerprint recognition has one of the biggest pain points in the experience, that is, the problem of identifying the area.

At present, the existing technology can only realize a small area of the identification module, the largest recognition area on the mass production machine is only two fingers of the area, and limited by the stacking inside the screen, manufacturers may not be able to choose the most suitable location to place the identification area.
