This is the cheapest smartphone globally to have a fingerprint sensor and it is quite a differentiating factor for a device in the sub-Rs. 15,000 price bracket. The Motorola Atrix 4G was probably one of the first smartphones to have a fingerprint sensor which was then used in the Apple iPhone 5S. Even Samsung's latest high-end smartphones and tablets have fingerprint sensors in them.
