Nokia’s updated PureView fingerprint scanner has been unlocked using a packet of chewing gum, and by one user with someone else’s fingerprint. There are also claims that it can be activated with a coin or leather glove. The new Nokia Lumia 950 is expected to launch in the UK on October 19, but will not arrive until November at earliest. The device uses five cameras linked to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, and the Android Pie V4.22C update was intended to solve problems involving a slow user interface.
