FPC wins smartphone DW by Chinese Tier 2 smartphone brand
Fingerprint Cards (FPC) has won a smartphone design win (DW) for its FPC1080A swipe sensor from a Chinese Tier 2 smartphone brand.
The Chinese brand supplies products in China, as well as overseas markets such as India, and ramp-up is expected during the second half of 2013. Due to the prevailing competitive situation, the mobile phone design house wants to remain anonymous until further notice.
“China is the world’s largest market for smartphones, with forecast sales volume of 430 million units in 2013. Chinese brands already account for a market share exceeding 50%. We opened our first sales and support office in Greater China in September 2012 and we are delighted to already announce our sixth smartphone design win in the most important Greater China market. Due to our world-leading capacitive fingerprint technology, image quality and power consumption, FPC is now established as the leading alternative for fingerprint sensors in smartphones and tablet devices.
