Nokia 9. The new phone launched by the HMD Global company has integrated a fingerprint reader in the screen, this one not being an ultrasonic one, but an optical one, and this seems to be an extremely serious problem for customers. Below you have a demonstration of the fact that the Nokia 9 can be fooled stupidly simply with a pack of rubbers that is placed over the area where the fingerprint reader is, everything seems to be rigged, but unfortunately it is not.
Nokia 9. The person who created the video clip below also claims that this fingerprint reader can be fooled even by another person's fingerprint, which of course shouldn't be possible, but... it is. Until now, I've never seen fingerprint readers fooled so easily by objects like a pack of gum, but anything is possible when it comes to electronic devices and software.
Nokia 9. EMBARRASSING, TRICKED with a Pack of Gummies
Nokia 9. Faced with such a dangerous demonstration, those from HMD Global stated that they will start an investigation to see to what extent the new phones have a very big problem, or everything is just a hoax of the one who created the clips. According to the person who discovered this possible problem, it would seem that unlocking is done after repeated touches of the screen in the area of the fingerprint reader, the Nokia 9 being unlocked immediately, without much effort.

Nokia 9. To be completely honest, looking at the video clips I find it very hard to believe that everything is 100% real, because it seems to show us that there is no reader under the phone screen, and only an animation plays when the screen is touched . HMD Global has promised to give the person with the problem a new unit of Nokia 9, and this is because the company's engineers have not yet succeeded in reproducing the problems in their tests.

Nokia 9. Until HMD Global has an official answer to the problem, all those who bought the phones are in danger of having them unlocked by anyone, at any time.
