Fingerprint sensors on smartphones aren’t anything new, but it’s nice to see them showing up on more affordable devices like the newly announced Starmobile Up Sense. The Up Sense is a modest device, packing a 5 inch HD screen, 1.3GHz MT6580 quad core processor, 1GB RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. While a fingerprint sensor doesn’t add anything in terms of performance, it does add an extra layer of security and convenience when locking or unlocking your phone.
