Vernee’s fingerprint equipped Thor smartphone has become one of the first MT6753 phones to receive FIDO alliance certification which could mean super simple fingerprint logins for more services and apps.
The FIDO alliance is an online group that aims to get rid of all your passwords and replace them with a single fingerprint, retina scan or voice print. The idea is that once you sign up for a service that is FIDO alliance certified your log-in details are then stored on their cloud servers meaning that you can log-in anytime from any FIDO certified device with a simple touch of a fingerprint scanner.
Looking over the FIDO website we can see that big names such as Lenovo, Netflix, Google, PayPal, Mastercard etc have all already joined up with the alliance and today Vernee have confirmed the Thor will come with certification too.

This could mean that in the future Thor owners would need a simple touch of their new phones fingerprint scanner to log in to any of the FIDO approved services rather than entering a different password for each service.
It is great to see a Chinese brand adding useful features, and along with FIDO we might also see some sort of agreement with Uber and Vernee on the Thor too, but do you worry that a one log in system is a security risk or is the simple convenience more important to you?
For those of you wanting to take a look at the Vernee Thor in detail, take a look at the 3D video below:
you really going to give me that answer, just think about what your saying think about it
I answered your question. You will be able to buy it like any other chinese phone like Ulefone etc. Can you grasp that?
no i cant, your implying that all chinese phones have the same availability,have you tried buying a gionee before, ever heard of china/india exclusive??? or do you want me to fly to china since thats the only way you can get 100% of the phones
By Chinese resellers. Are you new to this? Look at Gearbest for example. They have Gionee phones.
sigh smh oh boy, your still bringing the argument that i can get any chinese phones through resellers? and your still bringing the tone of all chinese phones having the same level of availability, and you still ignore china exclusive and india exvlusive phones that you just cant import via resellers, since your so willing to say like any other chinese phone do you want me to start listing phones and you tell me which reseller sells them?
A lot of china exclusive models are sold by resellers. a lot of xiaomi models for example. If there is enough demand for a product, resellers will resell it to other people. The whole point of ordering a phone through a reseller is because the company is not selling directly in whatever country you are in. Otherwise we would just order it in the store of our own country. Get it?
ohhh wait what? did you say if there is enough demand for a product resellers will sell it?? but i thought you said ” like any other Chinese phone” so you introduce a factor that directly impacts what is sold or not and ultimately their availability outside the country, in which i questioned in my original comment, about a relatively new and unkown company hmmmmmm interesting, you have a nice day Nilzie, make sure you eat your breakfast
