Since no individual have the same fingerprint pattern (not even identical twin), the use of the fingerprint as a device unlock option brings relief to smartphone users knowing that no one aside them, can have access to vital information on their device. Likewise, not only is the fingerprint scanner used as an unlock mechanism, it can be used for verification process and purchase confirmation when buying goods or paying for a purchase online. Smartphone Giants like Samsung (in Samsung Pay) and Apple (Touch ID on iTunes) have adopted the fingerprint as a verification pass/ method during purchase on their platform.

The introduction of dual camera gives images shot by a smartphone more focus, better clarity and separation, and more realistic 3D-like effects on photos. In fact, some photographers have opted for dual camera smartphones with top quality sensors in the place of professional cameras to shoot images.
