Lenovo has recently announced their latest mobile phone; the P960. Overall this is really a fairly basic model, but it does have one really cool feature that we have yet to see on a wide variety of mobile phones; fingerprint biometrics security.

In this case the fingerprint security is handled by Atrua Technologies and the scanner is located on the right side of the phone, towards the bottom, or next to the keypad, and can be used to protect “sensitive data” which can include your address book, call history or even messages.

Another recent FCC discovery is showing off a new mobile handset coming from HTC, dubbed the Census. The FCC document, unfortunately did not reveal many details about the Census, and we can mostly just make assumptions about its features based on what we see from the accompanying picture. Based on the image, the Census appears to have a fingerprint reader and bears a logo for the wireless technology company Harris. Likewise, the handset seems to have a touch-sensitive display as no keyboard can be seen, and the keypad is also not a standard numeric style.
